6. Gordon finds out he has double trouble on his hands.

7. Oh, my God.

8. They're messy... Make sure they say a prayer

9. before they start eating that. they're lazy...

10. When's the last time this place was cleaned? What a mess.

11. I hate cleaning. To me, that's a 4-letter word.

12. They're loud... You sure you don't like raw chicken?

13. They're loud... You sure you don't like raw chicken?

14. And they're emotional. I didn't think it was that bad.

15. And this all adds up to a recipe for disaster.

16. Will you stop acting like a baby?

17. - Oh, blow it out your. - Excuse me?

18. You heard it. Hey, need diaper changing?

19. Shut up!

20. Will Chef Ramsay

21. be able to get through to Jim and Jeff?

22. Right now you're making yourself look stupid.

23. Or is this set of twins the beyond saving?

24. It's a mistake. It's a lethal mistake.

25. - We can't serve them. - You'll kill somebody.

26. - We can't serve them. - You'll kill somebody.

27. I screwed up.

28. What do you want me to say now?

29. Nestled in the middle of

30. the up-and-coming neighborhood of Eagle Rock, California,

31. is Capri,

32. an Italian restaurant which is owned by the thiel twins.

33. an Italian restaurant which is owned by the thiel twins.

34. Hi, I'm Jeff. Hi—Jeff.

35. I'm Jeff. No, I'm Jeff. You're Jim.

36. I'm Jim. And...

37. We're the owners of the Capri Italian restaurant.

38. Good evening, Capri, Jim speaking.

39. How we got into the restaurant business is

40. We used to come here all the time,

41. and we loved the place, so we said, "We'll buy it."

42. the feeling was, it's like, dude, free pizza?

43. All right. Yeah, yeah.

44. Word, word, uh-huh. Team Capri.

45. The twins are like two overgrown boys.

46. Jeffy's getting larger.

47. Jeffy's getting larger.

48. Let's play cymbals.

49. They're just kind of immature.

50. Oh, I shouldn't have you do the chicken fillets.

51. Excuse me.

52. They're just doing what they know,

53. and it's not working.

54. Ta-da! Sorry. Are you okay? I'm sorry.

55. It's okay.

56. Yes, everybody is entertained by their childishness...

57. But it is a restaurant, and we're here to serve food.

58. That looks good.

59. That looks good.

60. Oops.

61. You know what? These guys can't cook!

62. Hmm.

63. We gotta figure a better way to do the lasagna.

64. We got too many people saying it's overcooked.

65. You think we should cook it less?

66. The food that comes out from the kitchen looks terrible.

67. What'd he say? It wasn't cooked. It's raw.

68. Can't win 'em all.

69. It's embarrassing. It looks like nobody cares.

70. You sure you don't like raw chicken?

71. Here is their issue— Jim and Jeff are lazy.

72. Here is their issue— Jim and Jeff are lazy.

73. All right, I'm going to the car. Wake me up when it's over.

74. Lazy is an understatement. The twins' highest priority

75. is doing as little work as possible.

76. There's something that we're doing wrong,

77. And I'm not sure what it is,

78. but the financial situation hit the pooper—

79. we're broke.

80. Oops. Uh, pink is never a good color.

81. I haven't paid them for a few months.

82. We need help. If things don't change,

83. I would say the doors will close quickly.

84. Hello?

85. Hello?

86. No, the phone's not working again.

87. Fingers crossed that Chef Ramsay's gonna help us.

141. Okay. So why aren't you open for lunch?

142. The Capri's never open for lunch, which is good.

143. I'd rather go on the computer,

285. We took it out of the freezer yesterday.

286. It's frozen, it is not fresh,

287. 'cause we can't afford to keep fresh meat here all the time,

288. because we don't serve that much.

289. If he wants to donate money so I can make it fresh,

290. no problem, but otherwise, tough.

291. They're not open for lunch, but so far,

292. what I've just experienced,

293. they shouldn't be open for dinner either,

295. and doesn't remember when the delivery was.

296. Excuse me.

332. You seem like nice guys, but that was painful.

333. You seem like nice guys, but that was painful.

334. The general feel of the place is disgusting.

335. I can tell how much you don't care,

336. you just stand there with your foot on the booth.

337. Can you get your dirty feet off your own booths?

338. Have a look at this.

339. Every table is littered

340. with stale disgusting gum.

341. We just—we never looked underneath the table.

342. Didn't have the time? Busy for lunch?

343. No. Open seven days a week? Not.

344. No. Open seven days a week? Not.

345. The meatball sandwich— disgusting.

346. The chicken was turning,

347. and then the colossal,

348. caked with crap. Were they canned mushrooms on top? Yeah.

349. Canned olives? Mm-hmm.

350. Soggy and tasteless.

351. Where's the pride?

352. I don't know. Come on, guys.

353. It's like a joke.

354. Find a pulse, and get real.

355. Before we open for dinner tonight,

356. would you mind wiping the lampshades,

357. and can somebody get under the tables

358. - and get rid of that gum? - yeah.

362. Capri classic Italian. What a joke.

363. He said our food sucked.

364. And, uh, that, uh,

365. our restaurant's really filthy.

366. I didn't think it was that bad.

367. After sampling the horrendous food...

368. That's not right.

369. And discovering a dining room that hasn't been cleaned

370. in quite some time...

371. Oh, God, under there. Look.

372. Chef Ramsay has instructed the twins

373. to clean up their restaurant before dinner service.

374. You do the fans. I don't want to get on a ladder.

375. Let's get Darian in here.

376. I have a staff to do the cleaning.

377. That's why I'm considered the boss,

378. and they are someone that works with me—for me.

379. Get in here, now.

380. Get in here, now.

381. We don't have a lot of time. We have to turn everything over.

382. We got an hour before we're supposed to open.

383. After the staff takes over the cleaning

384. of the dining room, Capri opens for dinner...

385. Hello.

386. And Chef Ramsay arrives... The door shakes.

387. To see the twins in action.

388. I've never seen a kitchen like this before.

389. I mean, this place is littered with crap.

390. I mean, this place is littered with crap.

391. What's that there? CO2 for the beer.

392. Look at those shelves.

393. I mean, that's grime. That's like

394. 14 years of grime there.

395. Chef Ramsay was, uh,

396. "Oh, there's dust here, there's this."

397. It's just like, it's not that bad.

398. What's in here? Dare I?

415. I didn't know that.

416. You didn't know that.

417. You didn't know that.

418. I suggest you spend five minutes

419. sorting out your first before you start cooking, yeah? Okay.

420. I should've known better.

421. He's right, but he's just a pain in the ass about it.

422. Darian. Want to go through it real quick?

423. Yeah. Trash.

424. With the rotten vegetables thrown away...

425. I need an order of wings, please.

427. Darian, order of green beans, please. Got it.

428. And begin to send food out of the kitchen.

429. And begin to send food out of the kitchen.

430. Make sure they say a prayer before they start eating that.

439. Big pile of mush.

440. Is anyone tasting anything, seasoning, tasting?

442. Every time a dish came back, it was like losing a customer,

443. and, uh, it hurts. what was wrong with it?

444. It's too floury and not enough sauce.

445. It makes me feel like a loser.

446. I do really feel like a loser right now.

447. Jeff,

448. You okay? What's wrong?

449. I'm just frustrated.

450. I'm—I'm working on it. Just...

455. Just... You can't give up like that.

456. I'm not trying to, just...

457. It's not going right.

458. I need to see what I've got to work with

459. before I can start looking at any form of change.

460. You have to bounce back, huh?

510. I've had enough.

511. I'm so pissed!

512. I can only take so much before I fight back.

513. Jim, Jim, Jim! Out of the way.

514. Jim, Jim, Jim! Out of the way.

515. It's an hour into dinner service...

516. Oh, God almighty.

517. And Chef Ramsay has just discovered a lethal mistake—

518. spoiled chicken at Capri.

519. You'll kill somebody.

520. - What am I supposed to say? - Take it off the menu.

521. Jim, Jim.

522. Out of the way.

523. Ladies and gentlemen,

524. due to certain circumstance, we have no chicken tonight.

525. Oh... My apology to everyone here.

526. If you just want to have

527. what you're eating now and leave,

528. I understand fully, and I apologize.

529. Hey, there may have been a more subtle way of doing that.

530. - Get out of my way. - Is the matter with you?

531. When we canceled all our chicken orders, we got screwed.

532. Excuse me? You heard it.

533. Hey, need diaper changing?

534. Hey, need diaper changing?

535. I'll give you something— is it that time of night?

536. Is there a little poo-poo in your pants?

537. He's the baby. He's the one that's whining over everything.

538. I don't need to hear this crap.

539. Jim, why do you have to behave like this?

540. and I'm just asking you to grow up a little bit,

541. - show a little bit of respect for what you're trying to cook. - off.

542. Oh, my God. You big, wet noodle.

543. Do you want a blanket and a bottle?

544. Do you need one? Upside the head?

545. - Jim, stop it, please. - Oh, my God.

546. - Jim, stop it, please. - Oh, my God.

547. - What a spoiled brat. - You.

548. Jim, shut up, please.

549. You're not helping the cause. Oh, my God.

550. Now you're setting yourself on fire. I hope so.

551. Oh, yeah. They don't get their way, they cry,

552. - or throw a temper tantrum. - Oh, my God.

553. To walk into the dining room like that and scream...

554. That's what I said— temper tantrum.

555. There's a part of me that is very satisfied

556. to see the boys finally get what they deserve—

557. to see the boys finally get what they deserve—

558. a lesson in humility.

559. Okay, where are you at now? I don't know!

560. Let me go check on that for you.

561. Can I pass you this? They've been here since we opened,

562. and they haven't got their food yet.

563. Jim, some of the tables have been waiting

564. two hours out there. I know.

565. Well, you don't even seem to be bothered. I am bothered.

566. You know, there's only three tables you served entrees.

567. You know, there's only three tables you served entrees.

568. Come on, guys,

569. just show a little bit more enthusiasm, surely.

570. No, it doesn't look good. Damn it.

571. This can't be happening. It's just like a bad nightmare.

572. Let's drink our wine and go.

573. Window wants to walk. Cancel window.

574. Customers were not happy.

575. Some got tired of waiting and left. It was very disappointing.

576. It was a bad night.

577. Our dishes took longer than usual.

578. It was just an embarrassing night.

579. It was just an embarrassing night.

580. Okay, today could be summed up in one

581. 4-letter word.

582. Lazy.

583. I can't even start

584. to help both of you when you're not helping yourselves.

585. I really need you to do something.

586. Both of you go through your kitchen,

587. and clean it. not your staff.

588. You. Both of you.

589. - Got it? - Yep.

590. Good night. Night.

591. Good night. Night.

592. Get to work.

593. We were lazy. Now we're paying for it.

594. We're failures.

595. Yay.

596. What's wrong, Jim?

597. I feel bad.

598. We are in trouble. I really don't know if we can fix it.

599. That's the problem.

600. Go take a break, Jim.

601. I gotta clean this.

602. After the twins spend

603. most of the night cleaning,

604. Chef Ramsay arrives early,

605. and with the help of longtime waitress Colleen

606. and pizza maker Darian, he does something

607. the twins have never done— open for lunch. Okay, Darian...

608. Yes, sir?

609. It's gonna be fast, and it's gonna be furious,

610. but you can do it, okay? I'm game for this.

611. How you doin'?

612. Come in and have some lunch. Thank you.

613. I would like the lasagna, please.

614. Pizza, up.

615. Lasagna up.

616. Lasagna. Enjoy.

617. This is delicious.

618. Mmm, this is really good. Yeah?

619. Look at that. We got a sign twirler.

620. "Now open for lunch."

621. Oh, cool.

622. What's going on here?

623. Oh, cool. Oh, wow.

624. Oh, cool. Oh, wow.

625. I can't believe this is happening.

626. Wow. This is our place?

627. - All right, welcome. - Hi.

628. Thanks for making it today. Thank you.

629. All right, take a seat. Feeling a bit peckish?

630. Yeah. Yeah? Let me get you a nice little chopped salad.

631. This is different.

632. Let's start off with a little chopped salad.

633. Thank you. And make sure you save some room

634. for an Italian sausage lasagna

635. and a very simple, um, margherita pizza.

636. Thank you.

637. It's a good pizza. I like it.

638. It's a good pizza. I like it.

639. Thank you.

640. Okay,

641. Whilst you two were at home nice and cozy,

642. I got here early this morning with Darian and Colleen.

643. I think today we put over $300 in the cash register.

644. Wow. Yeah.

645. $300—if you do that 5 times a week,

646. that's $1,500. that's almost our rent,

647. so it's a lot of money. talk to me.

648. I'm just...

649. Very happy.

650. Very happy.

651. Jeff, I had my eyes shut, and that was wrong.

652. I sat on my butt, being lazy.

653. You can't have your butt stuck to your bed every morning.

654. You've gotta get out and—and break the mold.

655. Message understood, loud and clear?

656. Yep. Loud and clear.

657. After finally getting through

658. to the twins about their laziness,

659. Chef Ramsay wants to dig a little deeper.

660. He has an unorthodox plan

661. that will allow the brothers to work out their issues

662. that will allow the brothers to work out their issues

663. and their frustrations.

664. Time to let go of the past,

665. and to embrace the future.

666. Gloves on.

667. I'm not gonna be fighting Chef Ramsay, am I?

668. I want to know

669. what's holding you back.

670. One, two.

671. Oh, for God's sake. What is that?

672. Two—what is that? I don't work out.

673. This is like starting an old car

674. after a year sitting there, it's gonna go...

675. Fart out a little bit.

676. Fart out a little bit.

677. Come on.

678. What pisses you off the most? What is it?

679. Myself.

680. Why?

681. Huh? 'cause I'm lazy.

682. When was the last time you did something

683. 100%?

684. I can't remember.

685. What are you afraid of? Tell me.

686. Screwing up.

687. Damn it. It's just screwing up.

688. Damn it. It's just screwing up.

689. I've done it all my life.

690. I'm a failure. You're not a failure.

691. Yes, I am. You are not.

692. We all make mistakes in life.

693. Embrace change.

694. Are you keen to make this business work? Yeah.

695. It's time. I'm ready to move on,

696. to make a success out of this.

697. Okay, last ten. Let's go.

698. And again. And again. Come on, come on.

699. And again. And again. Come on, come on.

700. Hit it. Stop kissing it, come on.

701. Come on. And again.

702. Ready to change? Yes.

703. Good man. Yeah.

704. Get the out of here.

705. I know I'm gonna put behind me all the laziness,

706. and look towards the future and the successes that are coming.

707. Jeff, let's go.

708. Good, good, nice.

709. It feels good to just let out

710. A whole bunch of that I've been hanging on to.

711. Nice, nice, nice. Take a breather.

712. Nice, nice, nice. Take a breather.

713. Good, wow. What does this restaurant mean for you?

714. A life, a career.

715. And you think that by sitting on your lazy ass all day long

716. and turning up halfway through the day is gonna make it work?

717. You need to commit.

718. Good. You, in here.

719. Let's go.

720. I don't want any head shots, just one round,

721. and tell each other it's time to work.

722. Let's go.

723. We can work together. we can work together.

724. We can work together. we can work together.

725. And we can be successful. We just gotta talk to each other,

726. not keep anything inside. yeah.

727. Five, four, three,

728. two, one.

729. And stop. Well done. give him a hug.

730. Boxing each other, uh, was a good exercise,

731. 'cause it— it cleared the air,

732. and it showed me that it's time for me

733. to work hard for the business for both of us.

734. to work hard for the business for both of us.

735. Okay, good.

736. It's time for change. Got it? Got it.

737. Are you ready? Ready.

738. Good. Get cleaned up,

739. and meet me back at the restaurant.

740. Satisfied that the twins

741. are ready to make some changes within themselves...

742. - Okay, how are you feeling? - Good.

743. Chef Ramsay now wants to focus on something else

744. that needs a major change— the food.

745. When was the last time you made a meatball? Probably five years ago.

746. Okay, and why did you stop? It was easier.

747. Okay, and why did you stop? It was easier.

748. Lazy!

749. Oops.

750. Let's make a meatball together. Okay.

751. It's been a long time since we've made meatballs,

752. but I'm ready to do this. I am a professional.

753. Right. Ground beef,

754. season, yeah, salt and pepper, garlic,

755. handful of chili flakes.

756. Chef Ramsay is a magician in the kitchen.

757. Oh, you just add this and this and this, and it's just like...

758. - Jeff... - Yes?

759. How big do you like your balls? Uh,

760. How big do you like your balls? Uh,

761. pretty good size, I mean, you know...

762. Golf ball size?

763. What?

764. All right, have a little taste.

765. What did you think? It's good. I like it a lot.

766. Can you do that? Yes.

767. Can you do that if he needs help? Yes.

768. Homemade meatballs. Homemade meatballs.

769. Yes. The difference is night and day.

770. Homemade! Homemade.

771. Can't hear you. Homemade!

772. Can't hear you. It's homemade meatballs!

773. Get outside and shout it in the street.

774. Homemade meatballs! Tell them in the neighborhood.

775. Homemade meatballs! Tell them in the neighborhood.

776. We have homemade meatballs! I can't hear you.

777. We have homemade meatballs!

778. Finally.

779. Stop, we have homemade meatballs!

780. We have homemade meatballs!

781. Everybody, we have homemade meatballs!

782. Faced with a restaurant

783. that hasn't been touched since 1963,

784. Chef Ramsay and his team work overnight

785. to give this restaurant one of the biggest makeovers

786. in Kitchen Nightmare's history.

787. - Right, good morning. - Good morning.

788. You are in for a big shock. Are you ready

789. - to see the new Capri? - Yes.

790. Good. On the count of three—

791. one,

792. two—don't peek...

793. two—don't peek...

794. Three.

795. Oh, wow.

796. - Oh, my God. - Wow.

797. This is nice.

798. Just have a look.

799. We have brought the Capri from 1963,

800. fast forward it, transformed it to 2011.

801. That's beautiful. Look at it.

802. - Cool, hip. - Oh, man.

803. This place is gonna be hoppin'. This is nice.

804. Oh, wow. Gone is the carpet

805. Oh, wow. Gone is the carpet

806. that was stuck together with tape.

807. You have the most amazing

808. reclaimed woods lining the walls.

809. Look it. Yeah, that's right.

810. We had to put you on the wall as well.

811. Colleen, what do you think? It's...

812. Isn't it amazing? It's amazing.

813. We got rid of those hideous green booths.

814. You have the most amazing tailor-made,

815. cut pews as benches

816. from your local church. oh, wow.

817. Sit down in the pew. Are you happy?

818. - Yeah. - Like a pig in.

819. Yeah! Whoo-hoo. It's great.

820. Yeah! Whoo-hoo. It's great.

821. Colleen. Yes, sir?

822. Come forward, darling, and bring those menus

823. from the pocket there. oh, my goodness.

824. Gone are the dirty plastic menus. Look it.

825. Designed on what your kitchen is capable of producing.

826. So now it's time to stop ignoring the business,

827. and run the business. okay.

828. Yeah? I get nervous when you don't talk.

829. Huh? He's— he's totally stunned.

830. Come on. Just amazing.

831. It really is. I've never heard you this quiet.

832. I don't have anything— what's the matter?

833. I don't have anything— what's the matter?

834. Just amazing. I'm in shock.

835. I never thought it could look so different.

836. This is beyond what I could ever think could happen.

837. It's amazing.

838. Wow. We're moving up, and it's exciting.

839. It's a second chance on life.

840. This is gonna be the coolest place in Eagle Rock now. Exactly that.

841. Right. Come through, please.

842. Look at this stuff. Oh, my God.

843. Let's start off with meatballs al forno, yes?

844. Let's start off with meatballs al forno, yes?

845. - What are they? - Homemade meatballs!

846. Homemade meatballs. Okay, sellers for the table,

847. - welcome an Italian chopped salad. - yay.

848. For me, the hallmark— the pizza. The margherita.

849. Classic eggplant parm pie. Delicious,

850. and just gives a completely different twist.

851. Now entrees—

852. baked meat lasagna. one of my favorites, yeah. mmm.

853. Baked herb chicken with fingerling potatoes

854. and a white wine sauce. Jim?

855. I like it, a lot. That's Jeff.

856. - It's cool. I'm Jeff. - That's Jim.

857. - It's cool. I'm Jeff. - That's Jim.

858. Right, a little taste? Yes.

859. Jump in. All right.

860. Oh, the broccoli is so good.

861. The food looks unbelievable, and it even tastes better.

862. It's excellent. The eggplant is amazing.

863. I'm starting to get full already,

864. And I haven't tasted half the stuff.

865. Excuse me.

866. Welcome!

867. Put you right over here, please.

868. Word of Capri's relaunch

869. has spread through Eagle Rock...

870. has spread through Eagle Rock...

871. We have a new menu.

872. We have great salads and appetizers to start with.

873. And the dining room fills up quickly

874. with customers eager to try the new menu.

875. You wanna do the Mac and cheese?

876. Boneless chicken wings.

877. - I'll go grab that and come back. - Thank you.

878. All right, let's go. Here you go, Jim.

879. Medium margherita pizza and a baked chicken.

880. Okay. And I want you to call it out like a chef/owner.

881. Okay, I got two—

882. What is that? Pot-potato skins,

883. two wings. Yes, sir.

884. How you doin', Jim?

885. I'm nervous, but I have to believe that I am in charge,

886. I'm nervous, but I have to believe that I am in charge,

887. and I know what I'm doing.

888. Own it, own it, own it, own it, yeah? Yeah.

889. Gonna leak from the top, buddy.

890. In spite of Jim's nerves...

891. Table five is ready. Pick it up, please!

892. Food is quickly making its way out to the diners. Not hot enough.

893. - Perhaps a little too quickly. - Me.

894. Listen, guys. Guys, the chicken's not hot enough,

895. especially inside there.

896. Get it in the oven, get the pan hot first.

897. Jim I think was starting to really get a little panicky.

898. Jim I think was starting to really get a little panicky.

899. Jim, give me a time on the chicken, please.

900. I-I-I got the chicken in—in the—

901. what's in the pan and stuff, it's heating up.

902. Jim, bounce back. Yep.

903. It's not a race. Customers will wait for good food.

904. Hot food in the window. I'm dragging the meatballs.

905. Here's spaghetti meatball.

906. Yeah. Is that how I showed you

907. to plate a spaghetti meatball? no.

908. It looks like someone on my plate.

909. Damn it, Jim. It's like, come on.

910. It's so easy. Just on.

911. It's so easy. Just on.

912. And you're more than capable of doing that, I'm telling you.

913. It's not rocket science.

914. You can't even grate cheese.

915. No, no. Stop panicking, and focus!

916. I'm panicking right now, 'cause we want to get food out quick.

917. But it's like, hey, don't screw this up.

918. Uh...

919. It's an hour into service...

920. And Jim is struggling to keep up with the orders.

921. Unfortunately, a relaunch that had such promise...

922. Unfortunately, a relaunch that had such promise...

923. They—did you really? I did not see them. Yes.

924. Looks like it's slipping away. Your chicken's coming also.

925. Jim, look at me. What table number is that for?

926. 16 is—darian, you cutting it right now?

927. I got a mushroom and a meat lover.

928. Put it right up. Okay.

929. This is going to 16.

930. They haven't even got their appetizers.

931. Oh, for sake. God darn it.

932. Oh, come on. Come in, you. Come here, both of you.

933. I need you for 30 seconds, out of all this.

934. I need you for 30 seconds, out of all this.

935. Oh, Oh, man, we're doing this again.

936. I thought we got through this.

937. Please don't let this be the end.

938. No, no, no, no, no, no. That.

939. It's relaunch night at Capri,

940. and with the kitchen backed up...

941. Come here, both of you. Chef Ramsay has seen enough.

942. No, no, no, no. That. Look at me. Look at me.

943. Right now you're making yourselves look stupid. Right.

944. It's a big night tonight. Yes.

945. And you're pissing it up. Yes.

946. So please listen to me,

947. you have to command your kitchen. yes.

948. you have to command your kitchen. yes.

949. You have to work together. But it's not a race.

950. The customers are gonna wait for good food.

951. Stop panicking, and focus, okay? Yes.

952. Come on!

953. Chef Ramsay is like, "What the is this?

954. How could"...

955. And I go, ugh.

956. We slip back into our old ways of doing it,

957. and it's like, you gotta change.

958. This is a new Capri.

959. I need an order of garlic knots and pepperoni and cheese.

960. Yes, sir! Go help him. I'll take care of this.

961. - Got it. - It's time that I grew up.

962. - Got it. - It's time that I grew up.

963. It's time that I start working as a man and not as a butthead.

964. Yeah—oregano. Oregano.

965. Okay, Jim, now we're getting a system.

966. Conviction, yes? Yep.

967. What's next? 16.

968. Good. I got hot food up here. Please serve it.

969. Once we started hitting our rhythm, it was great.

970. 'Cause things were going out. Excuse me.

971. We settled down, and we got it zooming along.

972. How we doing? So good.

973. The meatballs are our favorite thing.

974. This is really good, though. It's delicious.

975. This is made from scratch, you can tell.

976. This is made from scratch, you can tell.

977. This is so amazing.

978. It's been one hell of a roller coaster ride,

979. but we've learned a lot from Chef Ramsay,

980. and he's left us with a lot of inspiration and hope.

981. I can see that we will make it

982. if we keep doing what we're doing.

983. Jim,

984. Jeff,

985. you've come a long way. it's been a tough journey.

986. Yes. And in order for this place to continue functioning,

987. you both must work at it.

988. Yes. Don't clutter.

989. Yes. Don't clutter.

990. Yes. Show up early.

991. Yes. Lazy is a 4-letter word.

992. Yes. Good.

993. God bless you both.

994. Thank you so much. Okay?

995. Yeah, thank you very much. Good luck.

996. We've went through a lot to get—

997. you know, to get the nightmare into a-a dream.

998. It's still a learning process,

999. but the future looks really good.

1000. The Capri is gonna work.

1001. Good luck.

1002. God, honestly, I'm never gonna forget

1003. God, honestly, I'm never gonna forget

1004. the twins in Eagle Rock, let me tell you that.

1005. Thank you. Good night.

1006. Thank you very much. Jeez.

1007. Yes.

1008. Wow. That was hard.

1009. I mean, really hard,

1010. but I now really believe that both Jim and Jeff

1011. and their little restaurant can become a huge tourist attraction

1012. here in Eagle Rock.

1013. Now come on—

1014. who doesn't love a pizza and a show?

1015. Oh...

1016. That was hard.
