On an unrelated note, the unnamed scratchee is a cameo appearance by Alan Extra, from Real Life. I trust Mr. Dean will not mind.

On yet another unrelated note, yes, I am aware that the buttons on traditional chefs' jackets aren't coloured. I like the way this looks.

(Friday. INT: Kitchen of the Capsaicin Lounge. It's a bustle of activity, with Gregory Orange presiding)

JH (now wearing his whites, with the right arm pinned up): Sorry I'm late, chief.
GO: Scrub up, Halligan. You're on eyeball duty today.

JH (washing hand): Eyeball duty? Come on, Greg! I know I'm down an arm, but-
GO: No buts. We've got five bushels of habaneros, serranos and jalapeņos that I need cored, sliced and diced for the dinner rush. You're the last one in the mix, you're on eyeball duty. Suck it up.

unnamed cook: Aaaahhhh....
