19. And to get theserestaurants back on track,

20. Gordon will hold nothing back.

21. I've never ever, ever, ever, met someone

22. I believe in as little as you.

23. It's intense.

24. you dirty pig.

25. What do we need, a death in therestaurant before some fucker

26. gets a grip?

27. I thought your food was crap.

28. I'd rather have this conversation downstairs.

29. It's emotional.

30. - You're a fucking blow job.- That's it!

31. Seriously, I'm pissed off.

32. It's not my fault.

33. Why did you keep eating if it was that bad?

34. Just go!

35. Just go!

36. And it's shocking.

37. Fire them on the spot.

38. Oh my god.

39. Look at them.

40. I've eaten it!

41. I feel like spitting on both of them.

42. I think this place will run better without you.

43. Can you go and tell themthat the kitchen is closed?

44. We're shut!

45. It's the luckiest day of their lives.

46. We're shut for dinner?

47. We're shut for the night.

51. about dramatic turn-arounds—

52. horrible.

53. —not just of the restaurants—

54. Oh my goodness!

55. Oh, it's fantastic.

56. —but of the people who work in them.

57. I'll never forget you, man, the rest of my life, bro

58. But while mostappreciate Gordon's help—

59. Bless you.

60. You are wonderful person.

61. — othersaren't quite so grateful.

62. Chef, I know you can hear me.

63. Don't run.

64. Why is this guy here?

65. Who the fuck are you to turn around and tell me,

66. when you work like a pig?

77. to an old Italian eatery—

78. Well, this one's going tobe interesting, isn't it?

79. —to find a familyand a restaurant in crisis.

80. You can become famous in the next 24 hours

81. for fucking poisoning half of Babylon.

82. Tina, the owner, is a wreck.

83. I want to cry or commit bloody murder.

84. And her brotherdoesn't seem to care.

85. Instead of buying a stove,I bought a suit, you know?

86. He's a 250-pound spoiled baby.

87. - He's a lunatic.- You ain't got me scared.

88. - All right, good.- You ain't got me scared.

89. Good.

90. With just a week to turn it around,

91. Gordon must pull this family together.

92. Holy mackerel.

93. They don't listen.

94. But it will be an immense challenge.

95. You have to stay out of it.

96. The chef's worn down.

97. When the fucking dishes are ready,

98. that's when they're going to come out.

99. And the kitchen's worn out.

100. I cannot believe you work in that shithole.

101. This is my one working oven.

102. That's it.

103. The manager is a tyrant.

104. So what do you mean, I'm being hot-headed?

105. - I'm saying— Give me the fucking mallet.

106. What are you trying to do to the door?

107. And the staff areready to throw in the towel.

108. - No, no, no.

109. Relax, relax.

110. Can Gordon unitethis dysfunctional family

111. restaurant?

112. Well, I'm going to kill myself.

113. This is ridiculous.

114. Should I come back nextweek for the baked clams?

115. And get the house back in order.

116. You fucking blow job.

117. That's coming upon "Kitchen Nightmares" USA.

118. Babylon, New York is a quaintvillage on the southern shore

119. of Long Island.

120. It's home to a number of Italian restaurants.

121. But there's one family establishment

122. that needs Gordon Ramsay'shelp more than any other.

123. Hi, how are you?

124. I'm the owner of this restaurant, Peter's.

125. There's a lot of stuff. This place is a fucking mess.

126. I'm all over the place.

127. It's pretty open right now.

128. What would you like?

129. No one thinks I'm the owner in here.

130. They all think it's mybrother, because he's the host.

131. Come on, Peter, help.

132. Yeah.

133. The fuck?

134. There area lot of restaurant owners

135. that they're married totheir business day and night.

136. But I choose not to live my life that way.

137. I'm the only son, that's me.

138. I don't really know who Peter thinks he is.

139. Honestly, I think he's hoping for a shot

140. at the next "Goodfellas" movie.

141. Just when I thought I wasout, they pull me back in.

142. That was a great movie, right?

143. Yeah, that was awesome.

144. We're a close family.

145. We're a close family.

146. And it's a family business.

147. You understand?

148. Come on, you fucker.

149. I believe Peter is a coreproblem of the restaurant.

150. Who the fuck is he?

151. I'm here.

152. You know, I'm passionate,I'm Italian, I yell.

153. Gentlemen, why is this guy here?

154. Two minutes later I'm over it.

155. Come on, let me hug it out with you.

156. Let's hug it out.

157. Let's hug it out.

158. He takes advantage of the place.

159. Can I have a cappuccino from here, please?

160. I take so much pridein myself, my appearance,

161. my car, my clothes.

162. Do I got sauce on my suit.

163. I take care of myself and it shows.

164. You ever put your hands on me, I promise

165. I won't bring you up oncharges, you know what I mean?

166. He's not so concerned with the customer.

167. He's more concerned with them noticing him.

168. Instead of buying a stove,I bought a suit, you know?

169. Fuck this.

170. The tools that we have in the kitchen right now

171. need to be sharpened.

172. There are three ovens down.

173. The oven on the bottom is completely out.

174. We have a broiler that's not working.

175. When I got dressed tonight,

176. I felt like I should've been inFlorida, you know what I mean?

177. The whole family is throwing

178. everything on Tina's shoulders, and I

179. don't think she can handle it.

180. OK, I don't give a shit if it broke,

181. but I have to have a nervous breakdown

182. over a goddamn candle holder.

183. This restaurant was one of thetop restaurants in the village

184. here.

185. And it's just really slowly declined.

186. The restaurant is not making

187. the money that it was making.

188. Right now, we're not paying the bills.

189. Do me a favor, go take a walk.

190. How's that?

191. Go take a fucking walk.

192. We're getting phone calls.

193. Your guy has not stopped calling.

194. And then my father'smaking the situation worse.

195. I feel that mybusiness is at a pivotal point.

196. It keeps me up at night, thatl know there are problems here.

197. - You made a big mistake, John. - Yeah, I did.

198. Yeah, yeah.

199. Before I losemy life I would sell the place.

200. And I don't want to do that, that's not in my heart.

201. I'm here in Babylon in New York

202. to meet Peter from Peter's restaurant.

203. It's a family small, quaint restaurant.

204. And it's on his ass, struggling big time.

205. And he said he was going to pick me up.

206. Where is he?

207. Where is he?

208. Come on.

209. This can't be him.

210. What the fuck is this?

211. Peter?

212. How you doing, Gordon?

213. Good to see you. - Nice car.

214. How are you?

215. - Welcome to Babylon. - Yeah.

217. - Good, great, man. - Yeah?

218. You look well. - Good to see you.

219. Thank you, so do you.

220. From the minute we met, itwas like Superman arrived.

221. You know, so I'm very excited. Come on in.

222. I feel like I'm in Hollywood.

223. What a quaint little town.

224. So here it is.

225. Welcome.

226. Peter's, thank you.

227. After you.

228. I want to introduce you to my family.

229. Mom, Dad, this is Gordon Ramsay.

230. And this is Tina. - Tina?

231. Hi, nice to meet you.

232. When I firstmet him, like, you know,

233. I didn't know how to take him.

234. But with his hair like that, I figure he's

235. one of these crazy foreigners.

236. Is your restaurant Peter's?

237. - It's my name, yeah. - His name.

238. It's mine.

239. How nice, all the family working together.

240. Absolutely.

241. Mum, Dad, big brother, little sister.

242. When Gordon got here I waslooking forward to meeting him.

243. I mean, he's a smart guy.

244. He's a good looking guy.

245. He's charismatic.

246. So who's the chef? PETER PELLEGRINO: Robert.

247. Robert. Robert.

248. Robert, Gordon Ramsay. How are you?

249. A pleasure.

250. This is Robert O'Sera.

251. And you're the head chef?

252. I'm the head chef. GORDON RAMSAY: Excellent.

253. These are my two bestfriends, Jerry and Jerry.

254. - Jerry and Jerry. - Hi, how you doing?

255. Yeah

256. Oh, you know what it is, if they don't like the food,

257. they go over.

258. Jerry and Jerry beat the shit out of them.

259. I feel honored.

260. I've been introduced to the mob.

261. Well, this one's going tobe interesting, isn't it?

262. Fuck me.

263. Have you decided?

264. Yeah, let's start with the crab cakes.

265. - Crab cakes? - Thank you.

266. OK.

267. And then one of myfavorites, lobster ravioli.

268. Very good. Lovely.

269. Thank you, my man. - You're welcome.

270. I'm sorry, your first name was?

271. - Angelo. - Angelo.

272. Gentlemen, I got Ramsay's order, please.

273. OK, here is the crab cakes.

274. Lovely, thank you.

275. OK, this is a spicy Dijon sauce.

276. The crab cakes are homemade?

277. - They are homemade, yes.- Thank you.

278. Enjoy.

279. Looks terrible, this salad.

280. Is this salad fresh?

281. There's all like, little bits in there.

282. That's rotten.

283. Huh?

284. How old is that salad?

285. Take it back beforesomething jumps out of there.

286. I'll just taste the crab cake. - OK.

287. I mean, it's rotten, though, isn't it?

288. Yes.

289. Damn.

290. This is ridiculous, man.

291. Look at the— how old is this salad?

292. You make me look like a moron.

293. - Angelo? - Yes?

294. I don't want to put you in an awkward position,

295. but that's stone cold in the middle.

296. And that's not fresh crab meat.

297. They're gross.

298. OK, I'll let them know.

299. Yeah.

300. When you come into an Italian restaurant,

301. you want to identify thatthe food is fresh instantly.

302. Crab cake cold.

303. Not a good start.

304. He might knock the ravioli,

305. He's going to knock the ravioli?

306. What is he going toknock about the raviolis?

307. They're good, no?

308. They're from RestaurantDepot, what do you think?

309. Yeah.

310. Thank you.

311. Well, I don't need any parsley.

312. That's not even lobster.

313. That's just like baby food inside gunk.

314. Who garnished that dish?

315. Why?

316. Who garnished that dish?

317. You got to be kidding me.

318. You put a half a pound of parsley on my plate?

319. He said, wow, enough parsley on this dish?

320. First of all, I put the parsley on.

321. That's my job, and I'll decide what goes on it.

322. It ain't your problem.

323. Yeah, but I don't need to hear criticism

324. which I already know— - Then you tell him—

325. —the dish has too much.- —John did it, go yell at him.

326. What's going on?

327. It's craziness, it's chaos.

328. At times, I could shoot every person in here.

329. Gentlemen! JOHN PELLEGRINO: It's over.

330. Gentlemen. JOHN PELLEGRINO: It's over.

331. Gentlemen. - It's over.

332. It's over. - What's going on?

333. John, the sous chef, isinsulted over the parsley.

334. I'm going to go defuse a fightin this kitchen right now.

335. Excuse me.

336. —that'show I like to do it.

337. What—

338. So it did it my way.

339. —on earth?

340. Do you understand what I'm saying, Angelo?

341. All the fucking time.

342. Holy smoke.

343. Welcome to Babylon.

344. Now that Gordonhas tried the food,

345. it's time for a heart to heartwith the Pellegrino family.

346. I'd like to be told the truth, and nothing but the truth.

347. And the quicker I get to thetruth the quicker I can help.

348. So manager?

349. The way I look at things is everyone—

350. - He comes in— —needs to have a job to do.

351. —doesn't come in, comes in, tells everyone what to do—

352. My role is—

353. —he's supposedto be doing, including me.

354. —to oversee what goes on.

355. I'm trying to clean up, hewants coffee, he wants a water.

356. They don't listen. They really don't.

357. He knows that this menu—

358. —stay out of it.

359. You don't know about the day to day business.

360. Her? She doesn't know anything—

361. And we appreciate it, Mom, that you're here,

362. but you really shouldn't give input of anything.

363. She comes here and creates more problems.

364. —a customer—

365. I'm sorry for being so personal, but—

366. This is whythe business is falling apart,

367. I'm sorry.

368. Fuck me.

369. Coming up.

370. Always fascinating what youfind in the back of a fridge.

371. Gordon's shockingkitchen investigation—

372. It looks like something out of a sci-fi movie.

373. —leads to aconfrontation with the family.

374. You can become famous in the next 24 hours

375. for fucking poisoning half of Babylon.

376. Will Gordon andPeter ever see eye to eye?

377. You!

378. This place will run better without you.

379. Or will Peter continue to wreak

380. havoc on his restaurant?

381. You fucking blow job.

382. It's day two in Babylon,

383. and Gordon has alreadydiscovered that the speciality

384. of this restaurant is arguing.

385. Now it's time to investigatethe state of the kitchen.

386. What's in this one?

387. Bloody hell.

388. What is in there?

389. Fucking hell.

390. Bread rolls, bread rocks.

391. Temperature of the fridge is noteven cold, so stuff's rotten.

392. Mold.

393. Moldy, decay, rotten onions.

394. You know, they look like fucking camel turd.

395. It looks like something outof a fucking sci-fi movie.

396. Oh my god.

397. Woud you eat that?

398. It's like the fridge has dripped all over it.

399. The whole thing is leaking here.

400. Lashings of rain water inside.

401. Whole thing look like it's about to fall down.

402. - Hey, mate, good morning.- Thanks for coming, yeah.

403. I'm very sorry.

404. To make something happen.I had to pick something up.

405. What happened?

406. I had to pick up somethingthat came indirectly to—

407. inadvertently to the wrong place.

408. This was like an act of God this morning.

409. I would have really—

410. Let me show you something that I hope

411. will open your fucking eyes.

412. And Tina, Angelo as well, yeah? Have a look at this.

413. When was the last time youwent inside a walk-in fridge?

414. The walk-in fridge?

415. Yeah.

416. I had a hot flash last week, and I—

417. A hot flash, what does that mean?

418. I mean, I was like, hot, andl walked in here for a second.

419. What the fuck?

420. Look, there's onionsgrowing on top of onions.

421. But it gets worse, unfortunately.

422. The whole thing's leaking here.

423. What the fuck is that?

424. What is that?

425. I don't know, you have to ask the chef.

426. You can become famous in the next 24 hours

427. for fucking poisoning half of Babylon.

428. You ought to be fucking ashamed.

429. That is sour and has to be four weeks old.

430. Just, just, just smell that for me.

431. No, no, just smell it.- Please, Gordon, I just got up.

432. Yeah, OK.

433. Just smell it, though, Tina.

434. Oh, that's a.

435. Would we really serve that?

436. No.

437. But doesn't this fall under the chef's job?

438. Well, where are the fuckers?

439. This is your fridge— - Yeah, but—

440. —in the middle of your fucking business.

441. Can we get out of herebefore I catch something?

442. Yeah. I feel terrible.

443. It's like, somebody tellingyou your kid is ugly.

444. This is ridiculous here.

445. Hey, hold on a minute.

446. Get the fuck out.

447. The walk-in box is a mess.

448. But you know what?

449. That walk-in box was exactly how we felt

450. about working in the kitchen.

451. It's like blame everything on me.

452. The big fires in Chicago, Hurricane

453. Katrina, 9/11, what the fuck?

454. I mean, I never seen something like that.

455. Stop acting like a fucking baby.

456. - I'm not acting like a baby.- Yes you are.

457. You're just throweverything on me, because—

458. I'm fucking standing here—

459. —you know what?

460. I take it, number one, me.- I want the place clean.

461. - OK, so clean it. - End of fucking story.

462. Clean it. Guys, please clean the place.

463. You're embarrassing me.

464. I never seen something like this.

465. This is unbelievable.

466. Before Gordon does anything else,

467. he wants to make sure the kitchen is spotless.

468. How are we doing ladies?

469. I believe Peter is

470. a core problem of therestaurant's dysfunction.

471. And he isn't concerned muchabout anybody else but himself.

472. The kitchen is now cleaner

473. than it's been in years, so Gordon

474. can turn his attention toobserving tonight's dinner

475. service.

476. And reservations, what have we got booked?

477. We really— what do we have?

478. Some.

479. There's nothing in there?

480. Business is rough, it's hurting.

481. I may have to sell my watch.

482. You got $20?

483. So it is fake?

484. Fake.

485. The only thing that's fake is my teeth.

486. They're fucking white.

487. They're white, they're bleached.

488. How much did that cost?

489. I don't know. $1,000 a visit?

490. I just brush mine twice a day.

491. Fucking hell.

492. Teeth are important.

493. But it goes well with a brown tan.

494. - Well somewhat. - Yeah.

495. I'd rather buy a new fucking stove.

496. Fucking shit!

497. It's been such a long timesince I had good equipment here.

498. It's bothering me, but there'snothing I can do about it.

499. It's not my restaurant. - What doesn't work?

500. All these stove tops here don't work.

501. The broiler doesn't work proper.

502. This oven does not work.

503. We use it as storage.

504. We keep our towels and stuff in here.

505. When was the last time a new piece of equipment

506. was bought in this kitchen?

507. They never put a nickel into this place.

508. Peter is a lot more proud of his car

509. than he is his fucking restaurant.

510. Absolutely.

511. That kitchen is theheart of the restaurant.

512. When that's hurt, it's like a clogged artery.

513. You going to have a big problem.

514. With so much of thekitchen equipment not working,

515. it's almost impossible for the chefs to do their jobs.

516. And their frustration is beingfelt by the rest of the staff.

517. Where's my portofino?

518. They're coming, butdon't keep asking for 'em.

519. Don't ask for them one more fucking time.

520. When there's a chaotic nighthere, I have Robert screaming.

521. When the fishes are ready, that's

522. when they're going to come out.

523. He's anexcellent chef, but he's crazy.

524. Take this out.

525. Fucking gotta keep askingfor the fucking food.

526. Can you see if my friendthe doctor wants another

527. bottle of wine?

528. Sure?

529. Yeah.

530. Can I get you folks anothera bottle of wine on Peter?

531. Are you all right? - Who's got seat five?

532. Me.

533. Buy them an after dinner drink on me.

534. Is the doctor comped tonight?

535. Is he—

536. The doctor's comped.

537. Do you take care of it personally,

538. or do you put on the business?

539. It goes off the top.

540. It's an expense.

541. How could I not?

542. I mean, the guy, you know—the guy takes care of me.

543. It's only business.

544. I think they said that in "The Godfather."

545. I'd fucking charge my doctor.

546. Trust me, he earns enough.- Yeah.

547. It's like a little meeting place here.

548. Yeah a little meeting place, yeah.

549. Shame no one's spending money.

550. The combination ofPeter spending a great deal

551. of money on himself and giving away free meals

552. has put the family business in jeopardy,

553. and brought a debt collector to the door.

554. No, I'm not ..

555. What?

556. Hey.

557. Yeah, he'd like—

558. no, not right now I don't, buddy.

559. No, no, not right now.

560. Oh, well as soon as you got a minute.

561. Yeah, OK.

562. Soon as you got a minute, telephone tough guy.

563. Go fuck yourself.

564. Get out.

565. Get the fuck out of here.

566. Pick your fucking legs up, John.- Touch me, tough guy.

567. - Pick your fucking hands up.- Punch me.

568. - Look at that. - Want to hit me?

569. - You're the tough guy. - You wanna hit me?

570. Put your hands on me, Pete.- No, no.

571. I'll let you do it first. PETER PELLEGRINO: Listen to me.

572. Listen to me, tough guy.

573. No, you're the tough guy.

574. Listen to me. Our friendship is fucking over.

575. You ain'tmy friend, you're a scumbag.

576. You're a low life.

577. That's what scumbag.

578. You've always been a scumbag.

579. You fucking talk to me likethat again, you get hurt.

580. You'll get fucking hurt.

581. You ain't got me scared.

582. All right, good.

583. You ain't got me scared,

584. - Don't fucking walk up on me.

585. Tina, go—

586. —hurt you, you little ..

587. John, get the fuck outta here.

588. No.

589. I spoke to other people too that he's debt with,

590. that called me up and said—

591. That has nothing to do with this.

592. —if there's anything I could do.

593. Yeah, I just wanted to talk to him.

594. Now wasn't the time.

595. After Peter's brushwith an overzealous debt

596. collector, Gordon checks in with his sister,

597. restaurant owner Tina.

598. I know I've just arrived, but fuck me,

599. how do you manage?

600. Oh, I'm motivated by all the nice people

601. that come in to visit me.

602. But other than that, I'm having a breakdown.

603. Tell me your biggest frustration.

604. What's the one big issue that you have?

605. From the kitchen to my brother,

606. it just seems like it's in like a free fall.

607. Like, everyone is just doing what they want.

608. I get so exasperated sometimes, so

609. stressed out that I want tocry or commit bloody murder.

610. But does Peter play apart in the financial side?

611. He'll take hispaycheck but not come in.

612. I come in and they'll tell me, oh, Peter took $200.

613. Shit.

614. It's like, I didn't evenfucking break even for the day,

615. and he took money.

616. He can't do that.

617. How long can you continueto function like this with—

618. Not much longer, and I can't do it either.

619. I would sooner sell the business.

620. I'm not a martyr.

621. I feel like I'm doing it on my own.

622. And that's the part about it I resent.

623. It's not fair.

624. If this doesn't work, what's at stake in terms

625. of how much would you lose?

626. My house.

627. Your house?

628. This is crazy, because the truedefinition of a family business

629. is every member of that family working

630. within to make it successful.

631. Not one person carrying the burden.

632. I know.

633. It's day three and time

634. for Gordon to give the familya much needed wake up call.

635. Thisbusiness was set up 17 years

636. ago as a family business, yes?

637. Yes.

638. Today we're going to renew that commitment.

639. We're going to make it morefamily than ever before.

640. This is what we're going to do.

641. You, with your father, aregoing to go and run the kitchen.

642. You're going to cook.

643. Yeah, you're going to run the kitchen.

644. Oh, I love it.

645. Tina?

646. Oy vey.

647. I want you to go and workin that kitchen, and just

648. experience what it's like behind that line.

649. And work with your dad.

650. You like food.

651. You certainly eat enough of it here.

652. Tina?

653. You're going to run thedining room with your mum, OK?

654. Get in the kitchen and getfamiliar with what's going on.

655. Peter, I never seen cook.

656. I haven't seen him boil an egg.

657. - Look at me.- Yeah, I'm looking at you.

658. - I'm shaking. - Find it?

659. I'm fucking shaking back here.

660. You're not shaking enough, let's go.

661. Come on, huh?

662. Peter is like one of thoseguys, he eats out a lot,

663. so he assumes he knows aboutcooking in restaurants.

664. He has no clue about the kitchen.

665. - Hello. - Hello.

666. Welcome.

667. While Peter and his father

668. are settling into the kitchen—

669. Why does that burner don't go lower?

670. Welcome to my world.

671. —Gordon is packing the dining

672. room with hungry customers.

673. First orders coming in, stand by.

674. - Can I start with you? - Yeah, sure.

675. - What would you like? - The salmon

676. Ma, do me a favor, make me an espresso, please.

677. Go make it yourself.

678. I just wantmy mother to get me espresso

679. and I'm ready.

680. Espresso?

681. Bloody hell.

682. Is he always this?

683. Yeah.

684. Is he? My god.

685. If my dadand my brother were the chefs,

686. I think there'd be a mass murder in here.

687. I have an order.

688. All aboard.

689. The first order's in.

690. I need black olives and artichokes.

691. Right underneath here.

692. Could someone set us up?

693. Oh hold on, now it's themthat didn't set you up properly?

694. I'm having a meltdown here.

695. Are we ready to order?

696. Do you need a few minutes?

697. Could I have a fucking working oven?

698. Those are the ones I ordered already,

699. that clams and the soup.

700. What the fuck is that?

701. This is a clusterfuck back here.

702. Angelo, table seven please, my darling.

703. Table of 10 coming in the door.

704. Where are the clams?

705. Where's the salmon?

706. Where's my lemon?

707. You're shouting forlemons, and look, there's

708. a fucking box of lemons here.

709. I need clean spoons.

710. I need clean spoons.

711. I need chicken.

712. I need chicken.

713. What's that in front of your eyes?

714. Oh, OK.

715. Peter isa 250 pound spoiled baby.

716. Holy fuck.

717. didn't get theiror their clams.

718. Oh, tell them I'll buy them dessert.

719. - There's the clams.- They don't need appetizers.

720. No, you have to get them out.

721. What do you want to do? I can do what I can do.

722. OK, that's put the cat amongst the pigeons.

723. Peter's now getting ataste of his own medicine.

724. He's now seen how difficultit is to cook in that kitchen

725. with nothing that works.

726. So this is embarrassing, because this

727. should have been a family, close-knit,

728. tight-run restaurant.

729. It's an hour into lunch service,

730. and there's still no foodcoming out of the kitchen.

731. It's done.

732. What's burning in here?

733. We just burned the chicken.

734. We're in the fucking weeds.

735. We just couldn't handle it.

736. I don't know, I'm looking for a corner to hide somewhere.

737. Can someone get me Tina, please?

738. I need orange juice.

739. You want Tina to stop now and get

740. you a glass of orange juice?

741. No, but do I haveanybody that can help me—

742. - Hey, look at me.- —get me an orange juice?

743. Fuck yourself.

744. What?

745. I beg your pardon?

746. Ooh!

747. Take it easy.

748. Take it easy, killer.

749. I want to see what big boy is made of, come on.

750. Let's go, yeah? - Yeah.

751. Let's get, big boy.

752. Relax.

753. Finally, someone told him, listen, buddy,

754. don't act like you're the king over here,

755. because you got nothing.

756. You get the fuck out of here.

757. Out.

758. Robert, back on here, please, yeah?

759. Let's go. - Thank you, God.

760. Unbelievable.

761. Now Gordon has proved his point

762. about the inadequate kitchen, he realizes

763. that he has to do somethingdrastic to get the restaurant

764. ready to be relaunched.

765. Gordon did attackPeter in the right way,

766. because he saw him as being a big shot, a guy

767. trying to act like a big shot.

768. - Would you do me a favor?- Yeah.

769. Will you go out?

770. Go and get some fresh air or ..

771. I'll go get a fucking manicure.

772. Polish your wheels or do something.

773. It's day four.

774. And although Peter's attitude towork has been a disappointment,

775. Gordon has no choice but tointroduce the first phase

776. of his transformation plan.

777. Right, today is a new beginning, a new chapter

778. for Peter's restaurant, yes? TINA PELLEGRINO: Yes.

779. Yes.

780. The one thingthat really needs to take place

781. here is commitment.

782. We're going to implement changes.

783. Follow me, please through to the kitchen.

784. Welcome to your new kitchen.

785. Oh my god.

786. Oh man!

787. Holy bro.

788. Have a look, have a look, have a look.

789. Gordon brought ina team of kitchen specialists

790. who worked all night to givethis restaurant something

791. it sorely needed, a proper kitchen.

792. Every oven is working.

793. Oh my god!

794. Oh, Peter, look at this!

795. Plates, stoves, ovens, mats.

796. I can't believe it.

797. A new double fridge as well.

798. PETER PELLEGRINO: Oh my god.

799. —proper working fridge, yes?

800. What a kitchen!

801. I think wewere all starting to lose

802. steam him here and give up.

803. And he brought us back to a sunny day.

804. Your new kingdom.

805. This is really a good thing.

806. Now I can really have a realkitchen where I can actually

807. do things the right way.

808. I've invested in this.

809. Now I want to see you.

810. With opportunity

811. comes responsibility.

812. And I think that's what Gordonwas trying to point out.

813. You know what?

814. I've given you what you asked for.

815. Now you're responsibilityto use it respectfully.

816. It's time for the chefs and Gordon

817. to put the new kitchen to good use,

818. as Gordon starts to change the menu.

819. There we go.

820. I want tofocus on family-style dining.

821. We're going to be making simple, stunning,

822. classic Italian foods.

823. OK, lasagna.

824. I'm very excitedtonight to cook with Gordon.

825. Definitely and honor tocook with someone like him.

826. I fell into a bit of a rut culinarily.

827. And now that Gordon's given me this new menu

828. to work with, it's arevitalizing kind of feeling,

829. you know?

830. Let's go.

831. Gordon introducesa new family-style menu

832. that will make Peter's restaurant

833. stand out from the competition.

834. There's what, six, seven Italian restaurants

835. out there in Babylon?

836. One thing that can separatethis restaurant from the others

837. is running this like a true family restaurant.

838. Gordon came about the idea

839. of family style, which I think is exceptional idea.

840. We needed something to help us stand out.

841. For tonight's dinner service,

842. the parsley-covered ravioliand the cold crab cakes have

843. been replaced by fresh, homemade,

844. family-style dishes such as—

845. Lobster ravioli, the pennelasagna, grilled flank steak,

846. cappellini and gnochetti.

847. And then porchetta, which is beautiful.

848. You know, these are dishes that are popular.

849. This is now a time for you to sort of really

850. seriously start getting that message out there.

851. It's so simple.

852. OK, guys, I've got a big, big, big, big launch—

853. Yeah, big time.

854. Hug, come on.

855. Oh man.

856. Oh man.

857. With a brand newkitchen, a redesigned menu,

858. and a new approach that reaches out to families,

859. the restaurant is ready for its big relaunch.

860. Let's do it.

861. With the doors about to open,

862. Gordon gathers the stafffor a last minute pep talk.

863. OK, tonightis a critical, crucial night.

864. Are you with us, or are you—

865. OK.

866. But we're really busy right now.

867. Once again, Peter has a debt

868. collector on his doorstep.

869. Well, you are interfering, that's what I'm saying.

870. Get out of the way.

871. Now would you mind— - Get out of the way.

872. What?

873. Why don't you go away so we can go on?

874. Why don't you go— no, get out the way.

875. I'm saying go away.

876. Relax, relax, relax, relax.

877. Relax, relax, relax, relax.

924. Give me the salad.

925. What, are you That's the last fucker

926. that's coming in this place.

927. You're getting fucking hot-headed over nothing.

928. you see my father on the floor?

929. I know!

930. So what do you mean I'm being hot-headed?

931. I'm saying relax.

932. Calm down, calm down, calm down, eh?

933. I told him to get out.

934. Are you OK?

935. They fight a lot, you know?

936. These things happen.

937. Relax, relax, relax, relax.

938. Let's get outside for two seconds.

939. Walk, fresh air.

940. Come on with me.

941. Let's go.

942. What's going on?

943. What happened?

944. Don't conduct that in my business.

945. - No, no, no, you're right.- That's first of all.

946. Second of all, I didn't likethe way he spoke to you.

947. He's disrespectful.

948. Relax, relax, relax, relax.

949. Big deep breath, yeah?

950. I'm here to help.

951. The row has wastedcrucial preparation time.

952. Now Gordon urgently needsto get Peter and the staff

953. focused on tonight's relaunch.

954. Big, big, big night.

955. I mean, a seriously big night, yeah?

956. The new menu.

957. New family-style dining.

958. New attitude.

959. This could be this big turningpoint for this restaurant.

960. Use this opportunity toshow off how good we can be.

961. Good luck.

962. There'sexcitement in the restaurant

963. about the new menu.

964. Do the fish, it's excellent.

965. clams, a single.

966. I like the idea of family-style.

967. But back in thekitchen, it's up to the chefs

968. to deliver.

969. The big tablesare all ordering family-style.

970. Now all of a sudden, we're working

971. with all this new stuff.

972. It's like alien.

973. May I have a cranberryjuice seltzer on cranberry?

974. Actually, you know what? Do you have pineapple juice?

975. Yeah.

976. Give me pineapple juice with a lot of ice

977. and a splash of cranberry.

978. It's good for my sugar.

979. It's one hour into dinner service,

980. and the restaurant has notbeen this full for seven years.

981. Let's set this up for 14 right now.

982. Come on, come on, come on.

983. Right, now they've got a 14 top just arrived.

984. And this is a true test now, because family-style should

985. make their life a lot easier.

986. Or it can go tits up and be a disaster.

987. It's so busy.

988. Tina?

989. Tina?

990. You have a throat lozenge?

991. Peter, as an owner—he should step up to you

992. know what?

993. Move his ass a little bit more, because he's in la-la land.

994. Peter, this table right here?

995. Yeah?

996. Bring them an appetizer or two.

997. All right?

998. But when Peterdoes decide to lend a hand—

999. I'm hungry, man.

1000. —instead ofserving the baked clams—

1001. You got a fork back here?

1002. Anybody got a fork?

1003. Come on, I don't want tosee Gordon seeing me eating.

1004. I don't want to get yelled at.

1005. —he decides to eat them.

1006. Oh man.

1007. Peter?

1008. Excuse me, Peter?

1009. I got to ask you for one favor.

1010. It's delicious.

1011. Robert?

1012. What?

1013. What the fuck is going on in here?

1014. Nothing.

1015. You're hungry?

1016. Yeah, fuck off, yeah?

1017. Go and look at your stomach in the window.

1018. Let's go.

1019. Still waiting on my baked clams.

1020. All right, I'll take care of you with that.

1021. I'll bring a.

1022. Guys, should I come back nextweek for the baked clams?

1023. Should I go down the blockfor the other restaurant?

1024. I promise you, you'll have it.

1025. OK, dining room's filling up.

1026. New menu, new kitchen, new family-style dining.

1027. But Peter is my concern right now.

1028. Know what, honey?

1029. I'll take a cappuccino if youcan make me, with two Equals,

1030. please?

1031. It was really difficult.I mean, you know,

1032. my legs hurt.

1033. It was harder than the gym.

1034. It was really harder than the gym.

1035. When Gordon putsthe pressure on Peter—

1036. They waited 50 minutes for the fucking clams.

1037. —Peter takes it out on his staff.

1038. What the fuck is she doing?

1039. No one came to your table yet? Nicole, are you kidding me?

1040. You didn't go to these people's table?

1041. I don't care what it was supposed to be.

1042. Take it right now. - OK.

1043. Right now.

1044. He was yelling at me in frontof my customers for things

1045. that I didn't do.

1046. Wasn't supposed to be my table.

1047. Imagine this?

1048. It's hard for him to realizethat he did something wrong,

1049. so he takes it out on everybody else.

1050. Get them one bottle on meright now for all your a comedy

1051. of errors tonight.

1052. Thank you sir, you cost me a bottle of wine.

1053. Just get them the bottle of wine, please.

1054. I don't know whyPeter's temper is like that.

1055. Fucking moron.

1056. I mean, he's in everybody's way.

1057. Everybody else just brushes it off,

1058. but I guess I just take ita little personal when he's

1059. screaming at me from a table.

1060. The fuck is going on with A7 and everything?

1061. What do you—

1062. Hard on you?

1063. How could I be a hard person to talk to?

1064. That's ridiculous.

1065. Well, if you need to talk to me,

1066. I would rather you talked to me back here.

1067. How could you cry?

1068. She was like a machine gun.

1069. She just started shootingall this stuff out.

1070. She looked like she washaving some sort of meltdown.

1071. I don't make the drinks.

1072. I don't make the food.

1073. This is ridiculous here.

1074. Hey, hold on a minute.

1075. You're embarrassing me.

1076. Relax.

1077. Just turn it down a bit.

1078. Just turn it the fuck— hey.

1079. Oh my god, Inever seen something like this.

1080. Thank you very much. Thank you.

1081. Thanks.

1082. With over 200 satisfied customers,

1083. the relaunch is a successin spite of Peter.

1084. This place was a success and it's

1085. now pissed through your hands.

1086. Well, it is what it—

1087. it is what it is.

1088. You've neglected it.

1089. I understand, but rightnow, we're not in a situation

1090. money-wise to fix it.

1091. Well, fuck me, what's the time?

1092. What do you think this is, yourfucking little salon to get

1093. your massage and get fed?

1094. You're fucking walking round this place

1095. with a bowl of food in yourfucking hand, eating away.

1096. That's not how I run my fucking business.

1097. Now I'm getting a fucking headache.

1098. I don't think you've seen a day's

1099. work for fucking 20 years.

1100. I've had my own personalproblems in the last year.

1101. We all have problems.

1102. Problem, problem, problem, problem, problem.

1103. You're not different.

1104. Let's start working at the problem.

1105. What's the problem?

1106. What's the problem?

1107. You, that's where I'm starting.

1108. Excuse me?

1109. He's fucking nuts, this guy.

1110. You're right, I'm fucking nuts.

1111. Because you got fuck allto worry about right now,

1112. have you? - Listen to me.

1113. I'm fucking listening.

1114. Listen to me.

1115. You sound like you're outthe fucking "Godfather."

1116. Yeah?

1117. What the fuck is going on here?

1118. You're the only fuck in here right

1119. now that's not pulling their weight,

1120. and that's not fucking good enough.

1121. I think this place will run better without you.

1122. I think this place will run better without you.

1123. I— I— I disagree.

1124. You disagree?

1125. I'll own certain problems, and I'll take responsibility

1126. for a lot of things.

1127. That was about asconvincing as a fucking—

1128. What the fuck do you want me to do?

1129. I'm here.

1130. I need twominutes with you on your own.

1131. You got it.

1132. Good night, I'll see you in the morning.

1133. I love him.

1134. Tonight go home, andcome back tomorrow morning

1135. and think about what are you going to put back

1136. into the business tomorrow?

1137. Think about it, and make sure it's fucking good.

1138. Cause I'm going to be hereto make sure you do it.

1139. I'm never speechless.

1140. I don't know what to say.

1141. I'm like— I'm a little hurt.

1142. What I'm seeing now is he said to me

1143. everything all these people wanted

1144. to say to me and haven't.

1145. So maybe Gordon's right.

1146. You know what?

1147. I'm not going to say maybe Gordon's right.

1148. Gordon is right.

1149. I'm committed.

1150. I'll be back, and I'll do what he says.

1151. It's for the good of the business.

1152. And in the end, this place is me.

1153. This place is me. This is me.

1154. This is what I do, so I gotta make it work.

1155. To Gordon'samazement, the next morning,

1156. he found Peter on the phone calling

1157. to fix the walk-in fridge.

1158. We need a walk-in box fixed.

1159. Leaking here.

1160. It's like lashing of rain water.

1161. I want you to come here and dowhatever it needs to have done.

1162. I'm really amazed thatPeter is taking the initiative,

1163. and putting in a new walk-in box.

1164. And to go with a brand new kitchen,

1165. Robert and John have a new attitude.

1166. I'm very excited.

1167. I think everything's going so well.

1168. Uh-huh.

1169. Family-style's working.- Everything's going well, yes.

1170. Yeah?

1171. And the family-style dining

1172. is a huge hit with customers.

1173. I haven't had family-style down

1174. here in Babylon in a long time.

1175. With word of mouthspreading, profits are soaring.

1176. The end of the night, we made more money.

1177. We made more money this way.

1178. It's unbelievable.

1179. To reach out to the local community,

1180. Peter's hosted the first ever Babylon Family Day.

1181. Holy cow, look at this!

1182. And everybody enjoy the lasagna.

1183. There's lasagna, help yourself.

1184. Food is good.

1185. Really good.

1186. This is a huge great startto push the new family theme.

1187. Come, and my family will serve yours.

1188. To make the relaunch complete,

1189. Peter decided the restaurantneeded one more thing.

1190. With the Father, may the blessing of

1191. almighty God, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit—

1192. This was a rebirth, so it needed it's blessing.

1193. I got a thing about hugging Fathers.

1194. Thank you so much, all right?

1195. In the weeks ahead, Peter was more helpful.

1196. Yeah, I'llget some extra plates too.

1197. Thank you. Thank you.

1198. OK?

1199. He made amends with Nicole.

1200. - I'm OK. - I'm sorry.

1201. - OK. - I'm sorry.

1202. All right?

1203. My priorities were mixed up.

1204. Instead of trying to be like the boss,

1205. I'm going to be a team player here.

1206. And whatever needs to be done, I'm going to do.

1207. I'm going to jump in.

1208. I'm going to ask people ifthey need help with things.

1209. Here you go, enjoy. I like that shirt.

1210. - Thank you. - Beautiful.

1211. And even providedTina with the help she needed.

1212. I mean, I'm thrilled I even

1213. think Peter will do his part.

1214. I really do think he's goingto keep his commitment.

1215. - I'm sorry, all right? - I love you.

1216. I love you too.

1217. Sorry.

1218. Let's justconfirm one thing, shall we?

1219. We got a taste of how goodthis restaurant can be.

1220. Absolutely.

1221. And just comparing to whatl experienced the first time

1222. I arrived here, tonight, thedifference was night and day.

1223. Before Gordon got

1224. here this place has nosediving.

1225. The man reinvented my restaurant.

1226. I think now he's given us all our spark back.

1227. If you cannot make this work, you mad.

1228. You've got a potential gold mine here

1229. that can make every one of you successfully fucking rich.

1230. We are definitelyon our way to success here.

1231. Now we have to take the ball and run with it.

1232. Thank you for the commitment, yeah?

1233. - Yes, chef. - Yeah?

1234. We've been given

1235. all the help in the world.

1236. Time for us to shine.

1237. And we got what we need.

1238. And I'm ready to do it.

1239. Goodnight, babe.

1240. All of Gordon's ideas

1241. stemmed to keep this restaurantsynonymous with family.

1242. We all love each other, sothat's my main ingredient

1243. not for the restaurant.

1244. And I think that's so important.

1245. $3,000 for all that extra material.

1246. Take care.

1247. I reallyfell in love with him.

1248. My first son is going to be named after Gordon,

1249. Gordon Ramsay Pellegrino.

1250. Gordon really brought ourfamily much closer together.

1251. - Goodnight, buddy, yes? - Goodnight.

1252. Thank you.

1253. If this time, they can stay together and commit

1254. to this restaurant, it will be successful,

1255. but stop the fucking fighting.

1256. Next time on "KitchenNightmares" USA, the Mixing

1257. Bowl's business is dwindling.

1258. You can't get so overwhelmed.

1259. I wasn't told.

1260. The manager's desperate.

1261. I've tried everything.

1262. The owner's lost his passion.

1263. You look like a man that's died

1264. and been put out of his misery.

1265. And his wife wantshim to shut the place down.

1266. I can't sacrifice myselffor the Mixing Bowl anymore.

1267. Gordon is the lastchance for this dying venture,

1268. a true kitchen nightmare.

1269. Do not talk to me like that.
