Chef Page #8

- This is not the moment.

- It is. I wanna know why.

He's smiling like he's

got something on me.

- I dunno what it is.

- Please, you know him.

- I do know how him.

- You know how he is. So who cares?

- I care!

- Why do you need to know?

- I just would like to...

- OK.

It doesn't bother me.

I just wanna know.

Just listen. I was very sad.

I was very lonely.

- And you, more than anyone, know...

- OK. That's it. That's enough.

how I get after I have

a couple of drinks.

- I don't want to know the details.

- I get...

Please. I'm not one

of your girlfriends.

- Don't tell me. Stop talking.

- He was my first.

- OK, the kid's here.

- It came out like a natural, organic thing.

- I don't want to know about this.

- We didn't...

We didn't go through with it.

Sat there and we realised

we're just good friends.

I think there's something

dead in there.

Uhh. OK, go and look for it.

Maybe it's a rat.

- Let's go look for the rat.

- I have to work, and I'll be back.

- No, wait, wait, wait.

- You're going? No, no, no.

You can't leave.

You said you were

going to help me, OK?

Go work with your dad. It's fun.

I'll be back later. 'Bye.

Alright. Take that bucket, fill it.

- See the hose?

- Mm-hm.

Trash, trash, trash.

Save that, save that.

Save the metal ones.

Ugh!

Tip it over.

Alright, buddy.

I got some presents for you.

Watch this.

Steel wool, right?

- Mm-hm.

- Scrub brush. Right?

I want you to do that

on the whole truck.

Hey, buddy, you don't have to

clean that. We're throwing it out.

Alright? Clean something else.

Alright, that looks good.

Clean out the lowboy now.

- The what?

- The low...

The reach-in fridge,

right here. Clean this out.

Ohh! That's it.

That's where the smell's

coming from. What is that?

I don't know. Whatever

it is, clean it out.

- Ohh...

- What the hell are you doing?

- You told me to clean it out.

- Not throw it in the garbage.

That's a perfectly good

hotel pan. Scrub it out.

No, that's gross! I'm

not cleaning that out.

- Pick it out of the garbage.

- Are you kidding?

- It's disgusting.

- You don't throw it in the garbage.

Like we saved the rest of

the stuff. Let's just clean it out.

No.

- Pick it out of the trash.

- No.

Pick it out of the trash can.

You wanted to work in a kitchen.

This is what working

in a kitchen is, OK?

- We don't throw sh*t out.

- Yeah, I wanted to come and cook.

- Not clean it!

- Pick it out of the garbage!

No! I cleaned your

whole stupid truck!

Why are you so mean to me?!

Hey, I can't get a

hold of your mom.

But you... The truck looks great.

You did a great job.

I'm sorry I was mean.

That wasn't right of me.

I gotta pick up some

equipment for the truck.

You wanna come with me and help me

pick out a stove till Mom calls back?

Fine.

Alright. Let's go.

You know what this is?

- French fries?

- That's right, a fryer.

This is the one we need right

here. Come on, let's go.

Double convection oven underneath.

It's a real workhorse.

60 inches. I think we could fit them

on the truck. What do you think?

- Let's get it.

- Let's get this one. Good. Done.

This is the... Ah,

here's what we need.

This is the thing I was

looking for. Right there.

- A George Foreman grill?

- That's not a George Foreman grill.

It's called a plancha. We make

Cuban sandwiches on that.

This is the key to our entire

livelihood. We need two of these.

Looks good. You know what?

Let's also get the 6-inch chef's

knife with the plastic handle.

- Then you need also the holder.

- Yeah, let's get a cover as well.

OK, you see this, Percy?

That's a chef's knife.

A real chef's knife.

It's not a toy. You understand?

This thing's sharp. It can send you

to the hospital if you're not careful.

I'll teach you how

to use this thing.

But a chef's knife, it belongs

to the chef, not to the kitchen.

So it's your responsibility to keep

it sharp, clean, not to lose it.

- Can you handle that?

- Yes.

This is a good knife.

It'll last you a long time

if you take care of it.

Don't lose it.

I won't. Thank you.

You earned it.

How are we gonna

get it in the truck?

Well, Marvin said we could use

some of his guys to help out.

Hey, guys! Hello?

I'm Carl. This is my truck.

I need some help moving

this equipment in.

Marvin said that you

guys might help me.

I got it. Mind if I borrow this?

Get to the top floor.

Maybe a little higher?

The hard part was getting

it over to the truck,

and now we just have to tip.

If I can get one end

up on the tailgate.

OK.

Oh, hey, hey. Don't do that. You're

gonna rupture something, man.

- Hey!

- Martin!

Hey, killer, what's up? How you

doing, little gangster, huh?

- What the hell you doing here?

- I warned you, man. I warned you.

If you got another gig, I was gonna drop

everything to be your line cook. Didn't I?

This is a food truck.

You're a sous-chef now.

So? Food trucks don't

need a sous-chef?

OK, fine. You're hired.

Pays nothing.

- I'll take it.

- Nice!

- You're not gonna scare me, buddy.

- Thank you so much.

You must've jumped on a plane

as soon as we got off the phone.

Dude, when I heard your voice,

I was like, "That's what I wanna do."

- I'm so happy you're here.

- Me too, man.

- We're trying to get this in the truck.

- Yeah?

I need some sort of,

like, lever and fulcrum.

Come on, everybody.

Everybody together. Come on.

Holy sh... No, we can't do this.

No way, not without one of us

hurting ourselves. No, no, no, don't.

Stop. Stop. I got it, I got it.

Carl, easy.

- It's good to know Spanish.

- You gotta, man.

Thank you. Thank you, guys.

- Ah!

- OK, good.

- Nice.

- Fryer next?

No, no, forget the

freaking fryer, man.

I'm gonna fill up

the propane tanks,

you go to the market...

get cerveza, not beer.

I can't go to the market. We gotta hook

up the fryer. Get rid of the steam pit.

No, by the time you get back, I'll

have this all spotless and cleaned up.

I got lots of marinating to do.

I promised these people the

best sandwich of their lives.

- OK. Good. So...

- Get me the mojo.

OK, so, what do you need?

Oranges, onion, garlic.

That's right. Why don't we

juice it up a little bit, huh?

- Tomatillo.

- Some chillies, yeah. Cilantro.

- Now get the hell outta here.

- Let's go.

OK, look, the key is, you

gotta look for ingredients

and then that gives you

ideas of what to cook.

Like, this is yucca, right?

Get some of that. Those

look great. See that?

And... Oh, come here.

You know what this is?

Uh, bananas?

That's called a plantain. Pltanos.

These are maduros. Feel, soft?

- Mm-hm.

- That's the sweet kind.

But we want the green ones.

Here. Hang onto this.

This is what you

make tostones with.

That's Martin's favourite.

- I got it. I got it.

- You got it? Too much?

- I got it.

- OK.

- Watch out for tarantulas. Come on.

- What?

Ahh! That's good.

Oh, look at that.

Oh, yeah. My masterpiece, baby.

- That's beautiful.

- Miami, I am back. Pow!
