You will create for me a new line of Chef Skinner frozen foods

And I, in return, will not kill you

Au revoir, rat

Do you know what you would like this evening, sir

Yes, I think I do

After reading a lot of overheated puffery about your new cook, you know what I’m craving

A little perspective

That’s it I’d like some fresh, clear, well seasoned perspective

Can you suggest a good wine to go with that

With what, sir

Perspective Fresh out, I take it

I am

Very well

Since you’re all out of perspective and no one else seems to have it in this bloody town, I’ll make you a deal You provide the food, I’ll provide the perspective

Which would go nicely with a bottle of Cheval Blanc 1947

I’m afraid I

Your dinner selection

Tell your Chef Linguini that I want whatever he dares to serve me

Tell him to hit me with his best shot

I will have whatever he is having

So, we have given up

Why do you say that

We are in a cage inside the car trunk awaiting a future in frozen food products

No, I’m the one in a cage I’ve given up

You are free

I am only as free as you imagine me to be

As you are

Oh, please I’m sick of pretending

I pretend to be a rat for my father

I pretend to be a human through Linguini

I pretend you exist so I have someone to talk to

You only tell me stuff I already know

I know who I am

Why do I need you to tell me

Why do I need to pretend

But you don’t, Remy

You never did

No My other left

Dad Dad, I’m in here

I’m inside the trunk What the

Dad

Hey, little brother

Emile

I love you guys

Where are you going

Back to the restaurant

They’ll fail without me

Why do you care

Because I’m a cook

It’s your recipe

How can you not know your own recipe

I didn’t write it down It just came to me

Then make it come to you again, ja Because we can’t serve this

Where’s my order

Can’t we serve something else

Something I didn’t invent

This is what they’re ordering

Make them order something else

Tell them we’re all out

We cannot be all out

We just opened

I have another idea

What if we serve them what they order

We will make it

Just tell us what you did

I don’t know what I did

We need to tell the customers something

Then tell them Tell them

Don’t do it

Remy Remy

Don’t Stop

They’ll see you Stop

We’re not talking about me

We’re talking about what to do right

Rats

Don’t touch him

Thanks for coming back, Little Chef

I know this sounds insane, but

Well, the truth sounds insane sometimes

But that doesn’t mean it’s not the truth

And the truth is, I have no talent at all

But this rat, he’s the one behind these recipes

He’s the cook

The real cook

He’s been hiding under my toque

He’s been controlling my actions

He’s the reason I can cook the food that’s exciting everyone

The reason Ego is outside that door

You’ve been giving me credit for his gift

I know it’s a hard thing to believe

But, hey, you believed I could cook, right

Look, this works It’s crazy, but it works

We can be the greatest restaurant in Paris, and this rat, this brilliant Little Chef, can lead us there

What do you say

You with me

Dad

Dad, I don’t know what to say

I was wrong about your friend and about you

I don’t want you to think I’m choosing this over family

I can’t choose between two halves of myself

I’m not talking about cooking

I’m talking about guts

This really means that much to you

We’re not cooks, but we are family

You tell us what to do, and we’ll get it done

Stop that health inspector

Delta Team, go, go, go, go

The rest of you stay and help Remy

Team three will be handling fish

Team four, roasted items

Team five, grill

Team six, sauces

Get to your stations

Let’s go, go, go

Those handling food will walk on two legs

We need someone to wait tables
