Health Inspector.

I wish to report a rat infestation.

It’s taken over my.

Gusteau’s restaurant.

Gusteau’s, eh?

I can drop by. Let’s see.

First opening is three months.

It must happen now!

It’s a gourmet restaurant!

Monsieur, I have the information.

If someone cancels, I’ll slot you in.

But the rat!

You must.

It stole my documents.

It’s past opening time.

He should have finished an hour ago.

Bonjour, ma cherie.

Join us.

We were just talking about my inspiration.

Yes, he calls it his tiny chef.

Not that, dearest. I meant you.

It’s him.

Ego?

You are Monsieur Linguini?

Hello.

Pardon me for interrupting your premature celebration, but I thought it only fair to give you a sporting chance as you are new to this game.

Game?

Yes.

And you’ve been playing without an opponent.

Which is, as you may have guessed, against the rules.

You’re Anton Ego.

You’re slow for someone in the fast lane.

And you’re thin for someone who likes food.

I don’t like food. I love it.

If I don’t love it, I don’t swallow.

I will return tomorrow night with high expectations.

Pray you don’t disappoint me.

Listen, we hate to be rude, but we’re French, and it’s dinnertime.

She meant to say, “It’s dinnertime and we’re French.”

Don’t give me that look.

You were distracting me in front of the press.

How am I supposed to concentrate with you yanking on my hair all the time?

And that’s another thing.

Your opinion isn’t the only one that matters here.

Colette knows how to cook, too, you know.

All right, that’s it!

You take a break, Little Chef.

I’m not your puppet, and you’re not my puppet-controlling guy!

The rat is the cook.

You cool off and get your mind right, Little Chef.

Ego is coming, and I need to focus!

You stupid.

Wow. I have never seen that before.

Yeah, it’s like you’re his fluffy bunny or something.

I’m sorry, Remy.

I know there are too many guys.

I tried to limit.

You know what?

It’s okay. I’ve been selfish.

You guys hungry?

Are you kidding?

All right. Dinner’s on me.

We’ll go after closing time.

In fact.

Yeah.

tell Dad to bring the whole clan.

Little Chef?

This is great, Son. An inside job. I see the appeal.

Little Chef?

Little Chef?

Hey, Little Chef.

I thought you went back to the apartment.

Then when you weren’t there, I don’t know.

It didn’t seem right to leave things the way that we did, so.

Look, I don’t want to fight.

I’ve been under a lot of, you know, pressure.

A lot has changed in not very much time, you know?

I’m suddenly a Gusteau.

And I got to be a Gusteau or, you know, people will be disappointed.

It’s weird.

You know, I’ve never disappointed anyone before, because nobody’s ever expected anything of me.

And the only reason anyone expects anything from me now is because of you.

I haven’t been fair to you.

You’ve never failed me, and I should never forget that.

You’ve been a good friend.

The most honorable friend a guy could ever ask.

What is this?

What’s going on?

You’re stealing food? How could you?

I thought you were my friend! I trusted you!

Get out! You and all your rat buddies!

And don’t come back or I’ll treat you the way restaurants are supposed to treat pests!

You’re right, Dad. Who am I kidding?

We are what we are, and we’re rats.

Well, he’ll leave soon, and now you know how to get in.

Steal all you want.

You’re not coming?

I’ve lost my appetite.

Do you know what you would like this evening, sir?

Yes, I’d like your heart roasted on a spit.

Come in!

Today’s the big day. You should say something to them.

Like what?

You are the boss. Inspire them.

Attention.

Attention, everyone.

Tonight is a big night.

Appetite is coming, and he’s going to have a big ego.

I mean, Ego. He’s coming. The critic.

And he’s going to order something.

Something from our menu.

And we’ll have to cook it, unless he orders something cold.

Just can’t leave it alone, can you?

You really shouldn’t be here during restaurant hours. It’s not safe.

I’m hungry!

And I don’t need the inside food to be happy.

The key, my friend, is to not be picky.

Observe.

No, wait!

Oh, no! No, no! What do we do?

I’ll go get Dad.

You might think you are a chef but you are still only a rat.

Sure he took away a star last time he reviewed this place.

Sure it probably killed Dad.

This is very bad juju right here.

But I’ll tell you one thing.

Ego is here.

Ego? He is here?

Anton Ego is just another customer.

Let’s cook!

Yeah! Let’s.

Okay.

So I have in mind
