"We look like nurses." "Maybe I can still renew the lease on my food truck, you know?" "Guys, come on." "You know how much this place means to me and Dion." "[Tommy] Yes, Kevin's a joke, all right?" "But by the time we open, Thirio's gonna be great." "We'll make sure of it." " How?" " [Dion] I got an idea." "Why don't we invite him up here, and we calmly and rationally throw him off the roof?" "I'll go get him." "[laughter]" "[Kevin] Whoa!" "Is there a party?" "And I wasn't invited?" "No, seriously, I mean, are we on a break or something?" "People, we have two weeks until opening and a whole menu to test and prep." "Let's go." "Back to work." "[group] Yes, Chef." "Oh, I'm sorry, man." "I was trying to hit the trash." "Do you think the shit you've been pulling this last week scares me?" "You know, I almost broke a guy's collarbone for locking me in a walk-in." "You can screw with me if you want, but I'm the damn chef here." "I'm not going anywhere." "You come after me, I take you down [snaps] just like that." "[sighs]" "Let's go." "Play time's over." "Got a hind quarter of beef needs butchering." "Not my job." "We got a guy for that." "Well, the guy's not here." "the guy's fired." "And, it's your job now." "[mid-tempo music plays]" "[sighs]" "Tom..." "I had a few thoughts about the wine list." "[Kevin] All I'm saying is our menu's more local now." "It doesn't make sense to serve a bunch of foreign wine nobody's ever heard of." "Pee-lar!" "They'll hear about it when I tell them about it." "Chef Mahoney, yes." "Hi." "Um, by the way, it's "Pi-lar"." "Good morning, Tommy." " Morning." " Listen, have the health inspector here Monday." "I do not want to be 24 hours from opening and have to postpone because of some stupid little thing." "Oh, uh, actually, that's not quite how it works."

"But that contract was supposed to cover your medical expenses and that fakakta restaurant you're starting." " So transfer some money." " [Ruth] From where?" "You're no longer worth what you think you are," "Mr. Restaurateur." "Go screw yourself, Ruth." "I'd love to, Aidan, but I'm too busy trying to keep your head above water." "What am I paying you for?" "I thought you people were good with money." "I'm a Jew, not a magician." "How are you, by the way?" "The treatments doing any good?" "I'm fine." "That restaurant is the tip of the tidal wave." "The Bronx is about to explode, and I'm gonna be right in the heart of it." "Let's hope so because you're running out of money."

"Look, I'm sorry he doesn't divulge his deepest secrets while I'm braiding his hair." "Good luck catching your white whale, all right?" "No, no, no, no, no." "We're gonna take this to the next level, okay?" "Look, I just told you I can't give you what you want." "And now you want more." "Look, Christ, what is it with everybody, huh?" "You make an agreement, and then they change it on you?" "Yeah, well, you know what?" "A relationship is a two-way street." "Yeah, if I'm gonna help you out, then I need to get something out of it."

" This kid with you?" " Yeah, he's with me." "Just get off of him!" "He can't be running around here alone." "This is a secure area." " Dude, he's 10!"

"You know, I don't give a damn what you enjoy, as long as you pay us the money you owe." "That money's tied up right now." "You signed a contract." "The same one where you-- you buried the detail about choosing your own chef." "Eh." "Why don't you read the fine print of my contract?" "You don't give us the money you owe us tonight, you don't see T.J. anymore." "Fine." "Then I'll hold on to the money." "I'm saying, hypothetically, we could withhold T.J.'s visits."

"Get out of here." "Go on." "I got you milk." "[sighing]" "Listen, uh, Teej, tonight really sucked, huh?" "Yeah." "Yeah, truth is, uh, that could happen again, you know?" "Well, it's the Bronx." "It will happen again." "Listen, man." "People are...gonna assume things about you, you know, 'cause-- 'cause you're black." "You just got to know that." "You got to know how to protect yourself." "All right, if that ever happens to you again, with a-- with a cop, store owner, a neighbor, whatever, you just-- you just show them your hands, okay?" "Yeah, don't grab your phone, make any sudden movements." "You just-- just show them your hands." "All right, you don't have to talk." "You just-- just do exactly what they say, okay?" "And this-- your hoodie-- that doesn't help." "You know, you're, uh" "You're gonna feel like you want to fight back." "But, you know, sometimes it's-- it's better not to."

" I gave it some thought, and I canceled the order for your panels." "They're not gonna work." "I thought we agreed to stick to what's in the Look Book." "Your wife was clearly a good artist."

"But I'm trying to do the job that I was hired to do, okay?" "You understand that?" "Look,uh"." "The way I acted earlier was unprofessional, and I apologize." "I'm ready to get to work." "Okay." "Well, great." "Start by prepping your mise." "You're right." "He's a total dick." "Acts like he owns the place." " Well, what happened to "roll with it"?" " I didn't mean roll over." "Look, he-- he got rid of Rie's panels." "Look at this." "Are-- are you okay with these?" "Look, I know Rie's design is important to you and me." "But, yes, as a chef, the lamps are practical." "If we get slammed, we'll have plates dying on the pass without heat." "And you know what?" "He's-- he's right." "You know the panels will cost us a fortune." "And when did you have this epiphany?" "Oh, look, I'm just tired of losing sleep over this guy." "Look, if we keep fighting him, we're the ones who end up with black eyes." "Hey, Patras, the walk-in's a mess."

"Go get your hoodie." "You don't want to wear it?" "Okay, well, get something else." "It's cold." "What the hell?" "Yo, the-- the hoodie thing?" "That could be because of something I said." "Look, T.J. got hassled by security at Hunts Point last night." "What?" "He's" " He's fine." "I talked to him about it when we got home." "Wait, wait." "What do you-- What do you mean?" "What happened?" "What did you say?" "I told him how to handle the cops when he gets harassed for" "I don't know-- existing while black." "You gave him "The Talk"?" " Yeah, I talked to him."

"You crossed a line, man." "Guess what." "The inspection's all set." "Great." "Great." "My, uh, sister has a brain bleed, but, she's stable." "Thanks for asking." "Pilar, I'm sorry."

" Have a great night, Dion." " Yeah." "You have fun." "[Dion] Hey, you know, I got to confess that... that marinade's kind of growing on me." "Hey, don't tell anyone I said that." "Okay, Patras, what's the deal here?" "Why-- why the sudden turnaround?" "It's kind of giving me the creeps here." "[chuckles] No, man." "You know what?" "I" " I just realized, you know, a couple of months ago, I was in prison." "And while everyone else was being miserable," "I was actually kind of happy." "You know why?" "Why's that?" "Well, they let me cook." "You know, so if I could be happy there," "I mean-- come on-- what am I" "What am I doing complaining about this gig, huh?" "I'm still cooking." "Right?" "The bottom line is you and I both want the same thing." "We want this restaurant to succeed." "That's what I'm talking about." "Okay." "All right, then." "[mid-tempo music plays]" "You all right?" "I know you said you were okay about what happened at Hunts Point last night, but... it's all right not to be okay." "You know, your mom and I struggled with this, too, about, [sighs] about what to say to you, if we should say anything." "What she wanted you to know-- [chuckles]" "She wanted you to know you could be anything." "You could do anything." "You don't have to change or act any different than you want to." "You have every right to be the beautiful, talented young man you are." "Okay?" "All right." "[chuckles]" "Love you." "[slow music plays]" " [grunts]" " All right." " Aah!" " Okay, I'll tell you." "The secret is paprika." "That's the secret to your sauce?" "Even more boring than I thought." " Oh, eat me." " Mm." "Not even with your secret sauce." "[both laugh]" "Yo, can we get two more?" "Uh, I got to get up at 5:00." "Got" " Got to get those salmon filets, so..." "Some life we have for ourselves, huh?" "Yeah." "Hot, cramped kitchens, 17-hour days." "Oh, the only perk is all the, uh-  all the trim we get." " Oh, yeah?" "Lucky you." "It's good to be young." "I haven't been laid in like a year." "What?" "Well, no wonder you're such a dick." "[both laugh] No, seriously, man, you got-- you got to get your priorities straight." "Look, check out this little tasty I banged last night." " You got pictures?" " Yeah, you want to see?" "Oh, yeah." "Mm, really?" "Look at those legs, huh?" " Yeah." " Oh, we're going up." "Oh, man." "Go, go, go." "Oh, you're killing me." "Come on." "Look at those tits." " [Kevin] Nice tits." "Perfect tits." " [Dion] Perfect." "You think the, uh-- the body's hot?" " Want to see the face?" " Yeah, show me the face." "That's my daughter!" "Oh, that's gonna get confusing." "She calls me "daddy," too." " Hey, hey, hey, hey, easy, pal." " Mind your business!" "You just hit a cop." "NYPD!" "Excessive?" "Well, appropriate." "There's your quid." "You owe me pro quo big time." "[COP] Let's go." " [Con] Let's go." " [Kevin] Ow!" "[knock on door]" "You see?" "Necessity is the mother of invention." "Listen, man, I can't keep paying this much." "[cellphone ringing]" " Hello?" " [Pilar] Hi." "They just left." "The inspection was a breeze." "I can't believe I was such a stress ball." "So, it all worked out." "[Pilar] Yes." "Thank you so much." "Well, glad I could be of help." "[mid-tempo music plays]" "God, you look good in this light." "Thanks, I mean, I wish I could" " I wish I could say the same." "[laughs] Listen, man, look." "The boys are back, huh?" "Feels good." "And this, God damn it... this has got to go." "White is definitely not right." "Boom." " [Tommy] Feels good." " Yeah, it feels great." "You know what would make me feel even better?" "Kevin's secret sauce." "First one to hit the street light wins." "[scoffs] [glass shatters]" "Ohh!" "That was close." "So, wait, so, all that sucking up, all that "Yes, Chef"." "That was all a con." "And you banged his daughter just to piss him off?" "Well, you know, I took one for the team." "What about the bar?" "What if there wasn't a cop there?" "The good news/bad news is I attract cops." "And tonight, you know, it was good news." "Watch this." "[laughs]" " Bam!" " Aah!" "Hey." "That talk you had with T.J..." "Yeah, I know." "I know." "I know." "It's my job." "You're the cool uncle." "I'm the dad." "Trust me, I don't want to be the dad." "[Marisa] Damn it." "Damn." "Damn it." "Damn it!" "[sobs]" "[Habib] Order up, T.J." "[speaks Arabic] [up-tempo music plays]" " Here's to it." " To you, chef." "To you." "Hey, yo, yo, T-Bone!" "What's up, man?" "You got the goods?" "[Dion] Bring it here, man." "[sighs]" "[Dion] Oh, look at that." "Look at that." "Get some of this, huh?" "Mmm!" "Oh, now, that... that is good food, I'm telling you." "[Dion] You try some of this?" "Got to get a piece of everything here, even some of the herbs." "It's all important." "It's all flavor." "[Dion] Take a piece of that with the beets right there-- you see what happens when you mix the flavors." "See what I mean?" "They co-- they complement each other." "What do you want?" "You want a piece of this meat?" "[grunts] [glass shatters]" "[mid -tempo music plays]"
