Chef Page #6

I was on the spot, bro.

I had been drinking that day. I...

I... I didn't know what to do.

- I'm a p*ssy, 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 sh*t.

- That sh*t 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 f***ing guys.

- I love you, Tony. I love you.

- Thanks, Chef.

- Look at that.

- Mmm.

I love both of you.

We love you, man.

Let's have a three-way right here.

Come on. Come on.

- Hang on, hang on.

- I love you, man.

- I'm glad you made up with him.

- Thanks. Did you take the garbage out?

The truth of the matter

is nobody's calling me.

I got no job prospects whatsoever.

- What about those offers you got?

- No. It's all dried out.

- Why, from the online sh*t?

- It must be from the online thing.

- Come on.

- I'm like a f***ing cat playing a piano.

I don't even know what that means.

I'm everywhere.

OK? Like, I'm, like...

I'm, like, a meme.

Know what a meme is?

I'm a meme. I'm a f***ing 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 sh*t 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.

You don't belong here anymore.

You know it. Come on.

What's th... Who's this girl?

- Carl.

- What?

- Be real with me.

- I am.

You've been ignoring a lot

of things in your life

that need your

attention, like Percy.

I'm not dad material right

now, if you hadn't noticed.

I'm embarrassing.

He sees all this sh*t

on the computer.

- Well...

- His friends have...

Maybe it's important for you

to talk to him about it, then.

- I just...

- He needs you, Carl.

I'm... I don't know him, OK?

He's at a weird age.

Why don't you take this

time to get to know him?

I want you to be happy.

You're not happy.

You're never gonna be happy here.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I've never not known what I was

gonna do. I've always known.

There's always been

the next thing to do.

And now that it's all ended, and I'm,

like... I'm, like, f***ing lost.

I think that's a

good place to start.

Come here.

- You're the best.

- Yeah.

- I'll hold down the fort. I promise.

- OK. You do that.

Thank you.

Hi, Flora. Percy here?

Percy aqui?

- He's inside.

- Can you tell him I'm here?

- Sure.

- Thanks.

- Hi.

- Why are you here?

I'm here to see...

here to see Percy.

- Oh.

- It's been a while.

I'm glad you're here, but why didn't

you call to say that you were coming?

- I don't know, because...

- He said he's sleeping.

- OK. I'm gonna go talk to him.

- No, no, wait one second.

She said he says he's sleeping,

but if he was sleeping,

she'd just say he's sleeping,

so he's not sleeping.

- Let me talk to him.

- Can you talk to me for one second first?

Please? Come.

Percy and I are going to

Miami to see my father.

So why don't you come with us?

- What?

- Yeah, come with us.

You want me to go... I can't

come with you to Miami.

I don't... I got all...

I don't have any money.

I need to wait for another job,

for all this sh*t to blow over

with the internet,

Twitter, all that sh*t.

Yeah, but I could lend you

some money before you...

I don't want your money.

I can't take charity from you.

You know that he's really upset

because he couldn't go with

you to New Orleans, right?

He's hurt. He misses you.

OK. What do you want me to do?

You know that the nannies

can't get on the plane.

So why don't you come with us

and you take care of

him while I work?

So you need me to come

with you to watch Percy?

- Yeah.

- So I'm the nanny?

Yes, his nanny, in Miami.

It might be good. That's where

it all happened for you.

That's where Percy was born,

that's where you got your

first job as a chef.

Maybe it will just, like,

clear your mind out.

You think Percy would

be OK with that?

Percy would love it.

Hm?

What do you say?

I have to run out for

a quick meeting,

so make sure when you go upstairs

that everything is pressed,

order him some food, make sure

he takes a nap, a bath...

- Wait, wait, wait, a nap?

- Get him ready for tonight.

- I'm 10.

- It's gonna be a long night.

We're gonna see Abuelito play.

- Where? At Hoy Como Ayer?

- Mm-hm.

- Isn't he a little young for that?

- Too young for what?

He's not gonna perform forever.

He wants his grandson to see

him play at least once.

Alright, well, better

keep an eye on him.

- That place could get pretty crazy.

- Me keep an eye?

That's why you're going too.

- Where are we?

- This is Little Havana.

- Like in 'Grand Theft Auto'?

- No, this is where I grew up.

- You did?

- Yes.

And this is where

Abuelito lives and works.

Grandpa still works?

What does he do?

I can't see.

- Eh, no, Papa.

- What did he say?

No, he's asking if

we're back together.

No, no, we're friends. I'm

helping watch the baby.

Wait, what's he...

I don't understand.

He said that you look like

you've gained a couple of pounds

since he saw you last.

Maybe since last

time, I understand,

but, actually, recently,

I'm down 15 pounds.

- 20?

- He's saying that he lost 20 pounds.

- 20.

- I know what he said. But I'm down...

That is in two months. I'm down...

In two weeks, I've lost 15.

My suit doesn't even

fit me anymore.

He's saying his pants might fall.

20 pounds. 20.

Why does he have to say 20?

I say 15, he says 20.

I could... Alright.

These are really good. We should
