• Riva : Look, if you bought Stones tickets and Jagger didn't play Satisfaction, how would you feel? Would you be happy?

  Carl Casper : No.

  Riva : No! You'd burn the place to the fucking ground.

• Carl Casper : I just wanna say one thing. I just wanna say one thing. Just one thing.

  Riva : Let's go to the kitchen.

  Carl Casper : Stop it. Stop it for a second!

  Riva : Let's just...

  Carl Casper : I have been waiting to talk to this prick for a long time.

  Riva : Ok.

  Carl Casper : [Talking to Ramsey Michel]  I am not cloying. I am not needy. I don't care what you think. You're not getting to me. I'm not needy! Chocolate lava cake is not just undercooked chocolate cake. That's not what makes the center molten. You take a frozen cylinder of ganache and set it in the ramekin so that as the outside cooks fully, the inside becomes molten!

  Riva : Ok, Ok.

  Carl Casper : [Carl Casper grabs and crushes a chocolate lava cake to show the center]  It's molten, see? It's fucking molten, you asshole! And you don't do anything. What do you do? You sit and you eat and you vomit those words back. To make people laugh. You know how hard I work for this shit? Do you know how hard my whole staff works? What sacrifices I make to make you happy and then you just smugly just fucking shit on my shit?

  Riva : Ok.

  Carl Casper : It hurts.

  Riva : Yes.

  Carl Casper : It fucking hurts when you write that shit! It hurt you

  [talking to Riva] 

  Carl Casper : .

  Riva : It does. It does.

  Carl Casper : He was... he thought you were going to close his fucking restaurant down! You asshole! And what do you do? You just write shit to... you just make shit up! It was molten! It's fucking molten! Asshole! You're not getting to me.

  Riva : Ok, ok.

  Carl Casper : You're not getting to me!

  Riva : Ok, Carl.

  Carl Casper : He's not getting to me!

  Riva : No, he's not.
