beginning, it's me versus me.

And I have to keep
that same attitude.

wins the year-long mentorship.

to deal with that tongue today.

rendered down.

The idea behind this comes
from where?

I love chili oil, but then
I also love Peruvian-Japanese.
266

So I'm doing
Taiwanese-Peruvian.
267
00:10:07,915 --> 00:10:09,686
Wait a minute! You're making
something Peruvian, too?
268

Like, what's going on
over there?
269
00:10:11,657 --> 00:10:13,426
Where did that come from
all of a sudden?
270
00:10:13,527 --> 00:10:15,362
- Aji Amarillo chili oil.
- Nice.
271
00:10:15,363 --> 00:10:18,703
- And a nice little green finish.
- Sounds good.
272

and my ingredients

a delicious dish that I had.

for her birthday.

And that was
the first time I had it
317

and it was absolutely delicious.
318
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,216
It is a curry noodle dish.

- It's a northern dish, right?
- It is.

by the Chinese monks.

- Ninety seconds max.

- Yes, chef.
- Christian, are you good?
337
00:13:04,234 --> 00:13:05,870
- Yep, chef.
- Have a clear narrative
338
00:13:05,871 --> 00:13:07,273
of where we're going
with these dishes.
339
00:13:07,373 --> 00:13:09,411
Yes, chef.
I'm making some magic with this.

What're you gonna do
with the little pancetta?
341
00:13:11,381 --> 00:13:13,553
I'll use its rendered fat
as well. I got some fatty pork.
342

- Taste as you go, young man.
- Yes, always, always.
343

- Love me some Aji Amarillo.
- Good.
344
00:13:17,294 --> 00:13:20,499
This creamy Aji Amarillo vibe -
it'll be that Peruvian kick.

in Toronto I go to all the time.
354

Their flavor is just unmatched.
So, I'm like, "Okay, I'ma try
355
00:13:46,586 --> 00:13:49,057
something different,
something I never tried before."

You dress the noodles in there?
357
00:13:51,395 --> 00:13:54,333
Yes I'ma toss the noodles in the
sauce, get it nice and green.
358
00:13:54,334 --> 00:13:55,504
Don't forget, the hero are
those noodles, yes?

- Okay.
373
00:14:21,924 --> 00:14:23,459
He loves spicy,
all kinds of fun stuff.
374

- He's following in...
- Isn't that great?

- ...his mom's footsteps!
- He loves it!
376

This dish today is for my baby,
377

When my son was growing up,
Noah would put his hand
382
00:14:37,187 --> 00:14:39,958
on top of the KitchenAid mixer
'cause that's what mom does.
383
00:14:39,959 --> 00:14:41,697
And it's really special to me.

man's... this is his dish.

- Alright!

- Really nice broth, chef.
- I like it.
396

I like it, too.
You can truly taste love.

Yes, you can.
And that's why I love cooking.

our time wisely.

Alright, Andy.
I love the idea of an omelet,
401
00:15:20,507 --> 00:15:23,012
maybe making a beautiful
frittata, like you said.
402
00:15:23,112 --> 00:15:24,615

- Turning it onto a cutting board

- and dicing that.
- Yep.

opportunity... (BOTH) to shine.

to this omelet idea.

there's no reprieve, right?

is meant to be enjoyed.

over peanut chili

This chef used squid ink noodles
with that pork belly.
628
00:24:14,441 --> 00:24:16,378
I thought the noodles were too
rich when I first tasted it
629
00:24:16,478 --> 00:24:18,314
but the fresh herbs
and the pickled radish
630
00:24:18,315 --> 00:24:20,520
- really wake it back up.
- The secret here is the grab.

pork - $4, $5 slice -

elevated this dish.

is Grilled Tiger Prawn
650
00:25:16,164 --> 00:25:18,570
over a fine egg noodle.
651
00:25:18,670 --> 00:25:20,740
This is a play
on a classic Cameroonian dish
652
00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:22,475

00:25:27,019 --> 00:25:28,487
We did a great job here,
this chef,
656
00:25:28,488 --> 00:25:30,760
presenting the star protein.
657
00:25:30,860 --> 00:25:33,298
I think it's actually too
shrimpy, too prawn-flavored.
658
00:25:33,398 --> 00:25:36,338
(NYESHA) Interesting.
The noodle is cooked perfectly.
659
00:25:36,438 --> 00:25:37,339
You brought your heritage
to this dish
660
00:25:37,439 --> 00:25:40,612
and it definitely shows.
661
00:25:40,613 --> 00:25:42,617
Be careful of the cook
on those large shrimp.
662
00:25:42,717 --> 00:25:46,158
This one is just a touch medium,
a little bit too firm.
663
00:25:46,258 --> 00:25:49,197
Okay lastly,
this is a Steak and Egg Ramen
664
00:25:49,297 --> 00:25:52,770
with a shiitake mushroom broth.
665
00:25:52,771 --> 00:25:54,875
One knock is there's not
enough broth on it
666
00:25:54,976 --> 00:25:57,112
but the egg is perfect - this
protein is cooked excellent.
667
00:25:57,113 --> 00:25:58,482
I love this dish.
668
00:25:58,583 --> 00:26:00,286
The cook on the steak:
Beautiful.
669
00:26:00,386 --> 00:26:03,024
It's just so nice to have
the confidence to grab,
670
00:26:03,025 --> 00:26:04,928
I'll be honest, one
of the crappiest of noodles,
671
00:26:04,929 --> 00:26:06,965
and elevate it
into a Premier League dish.
672
00:26:07,065 --> 00:26:08,903
Exceptional.
673
00:26:09,003 --> 00:26:11,774
Wow. Some incredible dishes.
Well done.
674
00:26:11,775 --> 00:26:13,379
Excuse us for a moment,
we need a serious conversation.
675
00:26:13,479 --> 00:26:14,781
Have a chat amongst yourselves.
676
00:26:16,318 --> 00:26:17,921
- Thank you.
- Wow.
677
00:26:22,296 --> 00:26:24,366
- So many good dishes, though.
- Yeah, really great.
678
00:26:24,367 --> 00:26:25,903
- Hot dogs, oh my God!
- Delicious.
679
00:26:26,003 --> 00:26:27,773
I'm actually blown away
how good it eats,
680
00:26:27,774 --> 00:26:29,677
how much it tastes
like khao soi.
681
00:26:29,678 --> 00:26:31,380
She knew exactly off the jump
682
00:26:31,381 --> 00:26:32,917
- what she wanted to make.
- Wow.
683
00:26:33,017 --> 00:26:34,655
She knew the dish,
she's traveled to Thailand.
684
00:26:34,755 --> 00:26:36,257
- That cooking was exceptional.
- Right.
685
00:26:36,357 --> 00:26:37,927
Honestly, the black cod
686
00:26:37,928 --> 00:26:39,932
with udon noodle
and that green sauce?
687
00:26:40,032 --> 00:26:41,835
- You loved that.
- Oh, my lord.
688
00:26:41,935 --> 00:26:44,909
The amount of depth of flavor?
Incredible.
689
00:26:45,009 --> 00:26:47,045
I said core memory
and I meant it. Really great.
690
00:26:47,146 --> 00:26:49,518
- Christian's been killing it.
- That wasn't Christian, no.
691
00:26:49,618 --> 00:26:50,686
- Interesting.
- That's Darian's.
692
00:26:50,687 --> 00:26:51,822
- Really?! Darian's dish?
- Yeah.
693
00:26:51,922 --> 00:26:52,957
I love Peruvian food.
694
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,403
And the second best dish there
for me was the dan dan noodle
695
00:26:59,504 --> 00:27:01,208
- with the squid ink.
- (NYESHA) Mm.
696
00:27:01,308 --> 00:27:04,346
- That was Christian.
- No! That was Connor's.
697
00:27:04,347 --> 00:27:07,220
- So Christian's was the duck?
- Interesting.
698
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:08,856
- (RICHARD) Just the fatty...
- Super fatty.
699
00:27:08,956 --> 00:27:10,426
Is that a duck dish
or a noodle dish?
700
00:27:10,527 --> 00:27:11,828
- Totally.
- Also, he's forgotten
701
00:27:11,929 --> 00:27:13,264
the rustic charm
of the noodle dish.
702
00:27:13,265 --> 00:27:14,701
He presented it
like it was a duck dish.
703
00:27:14,801 --> 00:27:16,804
- Absolutely.
- Showing off cooking.
704
00:27:16,805 --> 00:27:18,575
It wasn't about the duck,
it was the noodle.
705
00:27:18,576 --> 00:27:20,847
- The ox tongue.
- It was dry!
706
00:27:20,947 --> 00:27:22,817
- Definitely dry.
- You gotta be careful with that.
707
00:27:22,917 --> 00:27:24,554
- Yeah.
- Uh, top floor?
708
00:27:24,555 --> 00:27:26,224
I thought the shrimp was a miss.
709
00:27:26,324 --> 00:27:27,961
Yeah, the shrimp
was definitely overcooked.
710
00:27:28,061 --> 00:27:29,597
She got it on the grill and then
totally forgot about it.
711
00:27:29,598 --> 00:27:31,702
(ANDY) Absolute tragedy.
712
00:27:31,802 --> 00:27:32,870
There's three or four
dishes I'd order
713
00:27:32,971 --> 00:27:34,740
in a restaurant
and be happy with it.
714
00:27:34,741 --> 00:27:36,878
Yeah, which one do we
give the Time Token to?
715
00:27:36,879 --> 00:27:38,882
- That's the real question.
- I'm gonna make an argument
716
00:27:38,883 --> 00:27:40,887
that the khao soi is more
of a noodle dish,
717
00:27:40,987 --> 00:27:44,225
then the black cod is
more of an entrée with noodles.
718
00:27:44,226 --> 00:27:46,031
- No!
- (RICHARD) Yes.
719
00:27:46,131 --> 00:27:48,434
It's literally just noodles.
It's a noodle dish.
720
00:27:48,435 --> 00:27:50,105
And a big chunk of black cod.
It's a delicious dish.
721
00:27:50,206 --> 00:27:51,575
- A big chunk?!
- There's no arguing...
722
00:27:51,675 --> 00:27:52,844
- Sure, sure.
- ...it's one of the best.
723
00:27:52,945 --> 00:27:55,616
To me, the khao soi was
so authentic.
724
00:27:55,717 --> 00:27:57,453
I hope I can get
that Time Token over you
725
00:27:57,554 --> 00:27:58,622
but if you get it
I won't be mad.
726
00:27:58,722 --> 00:28:02,863
The cod pasta blew me away.
727
00:28:02,864 --> 00:28:05,134
But honestly I think that might
be the most memorable dish
728
00:28:05,135 --> 00:28:06,905
- of the season for me.
- Wow.
729
00:28:07,005 --> 00:28:08,375
It's pretty cut and dried
to be honest.
730
00:28:08,475 --> 00:28:10,010
- Wow.
- It's the Thai noodles.
731
00:28:10,011 --> 00:28:11,949
- It's the cod dish for me.
- Bloody hell.
732
00:28:17,326 --> 00:28:18,896
(QUIETLY) Oh, my God!
733
00:28:18,996 --> 00:28:21,034
We're coming down
to the final details
734
00:28:21,167 --> 00:28:24,473
to separate the seven of you and
it's getting harder and harder.
735
00:28:24,474 --> 00:28:27,480
But we all agreed...
736
00:28:27,581 --> 00:28:30,520
that two stood out
from the rest.
737
00:28:30,620 --> 00:28:32,055
Those dishes were cooked by...
738
00:28:33,893 --> 00:28:35,662
- Darian.
- Thank you, chef.
739
00:28:35,663 --> 00:28:38,636
And Cole.
740
00:28:38,769 --> 00:28:41,908
Well done, really well done.
Come on.
741
00:28:42,009 --> 00:28:44,782
- Thank you, chef.
- Thank you, chef.
742
00:28:44,882 --> 00:28:46,918
Now the difficult decision:
Which one gets the benefit
743
00:28:46,919 --> 00:28:49,690
of the game-changing advantage,
the ten-second Time Token?
744
00:28:49,691 --> 00:28:52,296
The winner tonight,
745
00:28:52,396 --> 00:28:54,266
congratulations goes to...
746
00:28:56,370 --> 00:28:58,407
Cole. Well done.
747
00:28:58,408 --> 00:29:00,345
- Yes!
- Woo!
748
00:29:00,346 --> 00:29:02,383
- Here we go, girl!
- So happy for you.
749
00:29:02,483 --> 00:29:04,286
Look after it, use it wisely.
750
00:29:04,386 --> 00:29:06,457
- Good job, Cole.
- Great job.
751
00:29:06,558 --> 00:29:09,931
Turning that $2 hot dog
into something valued at $15
752
00:29:10,032 --> 00:29:12,970
- was exceptional.
- Thank you, chef.
753
00:29:12,971 --> 00:29:15,976
(RAPPING) Started
from the bottom, now we here!
754

You can't keep a player down
too long!
755

Both of you will be cooking
in that top level kitchen
756
00:29:20,219 --> 00:29:21,955
- next time around.
- (SOFTLY) Let's go!

- Let's go!
- (GORDON) Congratulations.
758

I don't wanna wish bad on nobody
but I hope Christian
759
00:29:25,630 --> 00:29:27,700
is in the basement. Hey, do you
need something down there?
760
00:29:27,834 --> 00:29:30,105
Nope!

761

for the not-so-fun part.
762
00:29:34,815 --> 00:29:36,451
- (TENSE DRUMMING)
- Tonight,
763
00:29:36,552 --> 00:29:39,858
there were three dishes
764
00:29:39,859 --> 00:29:42,162
that failed to elevate
their noodles.
765
00:29:43,599 --> 00:29:45,369
Those three chefs,
766
00:29:45,469 --> 00:29:48,207
they'll all be headed
into the elimination.
767
00:29:48,208 --> 00:29:49,743
They are...
768
00:29:49,744 --> 00:29:51,582
- Danielle.
- Yes, chef.
769
00:29:51,715 --> 00:29:52,884
Andy.
770
00:29:55,455 --> 00:29:56,323
And...
771
00:29:58,461 --> 00:30:01,267
- Christian.
- Understood.
772
00:30:01,367 --> 00:30:03,739
I don't know how I made it
to this elimination round,
773
00:30:03,740 --> 00:30:06,678
but I'm getting my ass
out of there.
774
00:30:06,779 --> 00:30:10,520
And after conquering one of the
world's oldest comfort foods -
775
00:30:10,620 --> 00:30:14,460
all starch - we're gonna
take that safety net away.
776
00:30:14,561 --> 00:30:16,598
In this elimination challenge
777
00:30:16,732 --> 00:30:19,504
you must create
a Next Level entrée
778
00:30:19,604 --> 00:30:23,176
completely starch-free.
779
00:30:23,177 --> 00:30:27,018
Tonight, it's all about balance,
flavor, and technique.
780
00:30:27,019 --> 00:30:29,457
You have to let
your protein shine.
781
00:30:29,558 --> 00:30:31,294
- Understood?
- (CHEFS) Understood. Yes, Chef.
782
00:30:31,427 --> 00:30:33,900
Okay, you're cooking
for survival.
783
00:30:34,033 --> 00:30:36,069
I know no one goes
through this competition
784
00:30:36,070 --> 00:30:38,742

an elimination challenge, but...

- Lock in. Let's go, Danielle.
- Yes, chef.

Great plating.

I get the protein I want

for anything else.

Christian, what're
we thinking about, chef?
843
00:32:45,796 --> 00:32:47,934
I'm gonna do
a pan-seared Kurobuta
844
00:32:48,034 --> 00:32:52,042
with a cauliflower steak
and a roasted green purée.

grabbed it all, chef.

- Okay, put it together.

- You're really good with herbs.
- Yes, yes, yes.

- Another fun purée is a soubise.
- Soubise, yes!

- Cook the onions in some cream.
- You got it. Yes, sir!

You can get a nice soubise
with the scallops...

- Yes! With the flour.
- ...and beautiful little florets.

How far do you take that flour
in a soubise?

You don't even need flour.
Just get some cream

- and start cooking these onions.
- Okay. Yes, chef.

on the sauce

- Yes, chef.

I'm just doing a really simple,
beautiful plate, chef.

Yeah, yeah. That's it.
There's so much flavor in here.

- Yeah, a little bit more, chef.
- Yeah. Put more in there.

a spoon, you know?

Don't be shy with it. It's
a little spicy but that's fine.

what this syrupy sauce was.

It definitely works,
it's a beautiful complement

to the pork.
Apples, classic pairing.

Cauliflower works well
with that.

A slight departure for me
973
00:37:47,633 --> 00:37:50,605
is the broccoli verde sauce,
if you will.

and it's not puréed,
980

cooked cod
991
00:38:34,861 --> 00:38:38,501

enjoyable to eat.

Um, the sort of soubise
and the spinach
997
00:38:57,472 --> 00:38:58,641
is a little bit lost
in translation
998
00:38:58,642 --> 00:39:00,410
because it's not powerful
enough.

00:39:00,411 --> 00:39:02,784
Smart idea using soubise.
1000
00:39:02,917 --> 00:39:05,155
The part for me is really
the graininess in the soubise.
1001
00:39:05,255 --> 00:39:07,660
It's almost
like a floury texture

00:39:07,793 --> 00:39:10,165
that I haven't experienced
yet in a soubise.
1003
00:39:10,265 --> 00:39:12,269
(GORDON) Is it flour...
What is it?
1004
00:39:12,402 --> 00:39:15,274
- It might be a bit of flour.
1005
00:39:15,275 --> 00:39:17,179
- The chef made a roux...
- Gotcha.
1006
00:39:17,279 --> 00:39:18,281
- ...to thicken it up.
- (NYESHA) Gotcha.
1007
00:39:18,381 --> 00:39:20,185
(SOMBER NOTE)
1008
00:39:20,285 --> 00:39:22,689
Now's the hard part.
1009
00:39:22,690 --> 00:39:26,831
Okay, Nyesha, which dish are
you going to eliminate tonight?
1010
00:39:26,964 --> 00:39:29,737
For me, I think it's important
to transform a vegetable
1011
00:39:29,738 --> 00:39:34,178
but it's also very important
to do that vegetable justice.
1012
00:39:34,179 --> 00:39:36,183
And I thought
the least successful
1013
00:39:36,283 --> 00:39:38,387
expression of that
was in the scallop dish.
1014
00:39:41,293 --> 00:39:43,197
Okay Gordon,
same question for you.
1015
00:39:43,297 --> 00:39:46,436
Which dish will you
be eliminating?
1016
00:39:46,437 --> 00:39:51,346
The pork, the scallops,
or the cod?
1017
00:39:51,446 --> 00:39:54,118
I'm not a big fan of this
slurry of broccoli.
1018
00:39:54,119 --> 00:39:57,592
And I'm not a fan of the sort
of floury soubise.
1019
00:39:57,593 --> 00:39:59,330
My goodness me.
1020
00:39:59,430 --> 00:40:01,466
The pork is cooked beautifully
1021
00:40:01,467 --> 00:40:04,339
and the scallops
are cooked beautifully.
1022
00:40:04,439 --> 00:40:06,511
The dish I'm sending home...
1023
00:40:10,553 --> 00:40:12,355
...is gonna be the scallops.
1024
00:40:12,356 --> 00:40:15,095
(SOMBER NOTE)
1025
00:40:15,195 --> 00:40:17,332
That dish was cooked
by Danielle.
1026
00:40:17,432 --> 00:40:19,102
(GORDON) Shoot.
1027
00:40:19,103 --> 00:40:21,608
(FRANTIC MUSIC)
1028
00:40:21,708 --> 00:40:26,050
Danielle, it was just such a joy
to have you on Team Arrington.
1029
00:40:26,150 --> 00:40:28,889
I hope you're proud.
I had such a good time.
1030
00:40:28,989 --> 00:40:32,763
Every single freaking cook
was just wonderful.
1031
00:40:32,863 --> 00:40:35,536
And you guys, the family members
that I've made,
1032
00:40:35,636 --> 00:40:36,938
I just don't believe that
this is the end.
1033
00:40:37,038 --> 00:40:38,608
There's so much more to do
1034
00:40:38,609 --> 00:40:41,146
and I can't wait
to work with you again.
1035
00:40:41,147 --> 00:40:42,750
You've been a powerhouse,
let me tell you.
1036
00:40:42,850 --> 00:40:44,520
I wish we had more time
to cook together...
1037
00:40:44,521 --> 00:40:46,222
- Yeah.
- because there's something
1038
00:40:46,223 --> 00:40:48,361
quite unique,
and you're direct.
1039
00:40:48,495 --> 00:40:50,632
- We need that in this industry.
- Yes.
1040
00:40:50,633 --> 00:40:52,636
And we need more women
like you.
1041
00:40:52,736 --> 00:40:56,175
And I'll single out
a little moment
1042
00:40:56,176 --> 00:40:58,948
from a girl that means
so much to me, Claire Smith...
1043
00:40:58,949 --> 00:41:01,788
- Mm.
- ...who was watching from afar
1044
00:41:01,888 --> 00:41:06,697
the way you cook, and she tipped
you to go all the way.
1045
00:41:06,798 --> 00:41:08,400
- (EMOTIONAL) Thank you, chef.
- Wow.
1046
00:41:08,535 --> 00:41:11,173
Incredible.
Continued success, girl.
1047
00:41:11,273 --> 00:41:13,512
We're gonna be watching
you very carefully, okay?
1048
00:41:13,612 --> 00:41:15,515
- Good job.
- Well done. Come say goodbye.
1049
00:41:15,616 --> 00:41:17,285
I feel like this
is just the beginning.
1050
00:41:17,385 --> 00:41:18,522
I've been at this
for 15 years and...
1051
00:41:18,655 --> 00:41:20,526
(EMOTIONAL) I'm gonna
keep on at it.
1052
00:41:20,626 --> 00:41:23,296
And I'm just so proud of myself.
1053
00:41:23,297 --> 00:41:25,001
It was really good.
1054
00:41:25,134 --> 00:41:27,673
Oh, my God.
1055
00:41:27,807 --> 00:41:29,977
I feel really good.
I feel super good.
1056
00:41:29,978 --> 00:41:32,415
- (RICHARD) Good job, Danielle.
- We love you, Danielle!
1057
00:41:32,550 --> 00:41:34,554
Thank you.
- I love you, Danielle.
1058
00:41:34,687 --> 00:41:36,557
- (RICHARD) Good job, Danielle.
- (APPLAUSE)
1059
00:41:36,558 --> 00:41:38,059
- This is Andy's.
- Andy's.
1060
00:41:38,060 --> 00:41:39,864
And this is Christian's.
1061
00:41:39,964 --> 00:41:42,102
- (GORDON) Andy, great job.
- Thank you, chef.
1062
00:41:42,202 --> 00:41:44,573
Beautifully cooked, I think it's
one of your strongest dishes.
1063
00:41:44,574 --> 00:41:47,177
Christian, you're sort of
walking on a tightrope
1064
00:41:47,178 --> 00:41:48,949
without any safety net.
1065
00:41:49,049 --> 00:41:52,255
If it wasn't three of you
in this elimination,
1066
00:41:52,355 --> 00:41:54,026
young man, you'll be halfway
down the elevator now.
1067
00:41:54,126 --> 00:41:55,861
Yes, chef.
1068
00:41:55,862 --> 00:41:57,298
(EMOTIONAL) Too close.
Close. Real close.
1069
00:41:57,399 --> 00:42:00,705
(BLEEP) Excuse me.
1070
00:42:00,839 --> 00:42:02,609
Okay, what a day. Top six, give
yourselves a round of applause.
1071
00:42:02,610 --> 00:42:04,078
- Come on.
- (APPLAUSE)
1072
00:42:04,079 --> 00:42:05,949
(MANIC LAUGH)
1073
00:42:08,689 --> 00:42:10,324
Next time I see you,
we'll be celebrating a birthday
1074
00:42:10,458 --> 00:42:13,731
- like no other.
- Huh?
1075
00:42:13,732 --> 00:42:19,711
Something 250 years
in the making... Good night.
1076
00:42:19,811 --> 00:42:21,881
That's it?
That's the riddle?
1077
00:42:21,882 --> 00:42:24,587
- Thank you, chef!
- We'll have to figure it out.
1078
00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:26,757
- Great job. Good job, everyone.
- (NYESHA) Congrats.
1079
00:42:26,758 --> 00:42:29,598
- Let's go! Great job, Andy.
- Thank you, chef.
1080
00:42:29,698 --> 00:42:31,267
- (NYESHA) Good luck.
- (RICHARD) Keep it up.
1081
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:32,669
- All of you, great job today.
- (CHEFS) Thank you.
1082
00:42:35,274 --> 00:42:37,780
(RICHARD, VO) Next time
on Next Level Chef...
1083
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,484
We are celebrating
America's 250th birthday.
1084
00:42:40,619 --> 00:42:42,121
- Woo!
- Oh, let's go.
1085
00:42:42,221 --> 00:42:44,192
Happy birthday, America.
1086
00:42:44,193 --> 00:42:45,260
(RICHARD)
Time to celebrate America.
1087
00:42:45,261 --> 00:42:48,901
USA! USA!
1088
00:42:48,902 --> 00:42:51,239
- Do you want to go first?
- What a gentleman.
1089
00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:53,477
I spoke too soon.
1090
00:42:53,578 --> 00:42:55,347
Ooh! What's this big spill?
1091
00:42:55,481 --> 00:42:58,921
I don't have time to fix that.
(BLEEP)
1092
00:42:58,922 --> 00:43:01,528
(RICHARD) We want to taste
that American spirit tonight.
1093
00:43:01,628 --> 00:43:03,363
Two sips, you're gonna be
on your (BLEEP) back.
1094
00:43:03,364 --> 00:43:06,237
USA! USA!
1095
00:43:06,370 --> 00:43:07,773
- Is that Richard Blais?
- USA!
1096
00:43:07,907 --> 00:43:09,743
Honestly,
I'm gonna (BLEEP) kill him.
