Deaf Anthology: Deaf Anthology #52: "Deaf Chef Geo"

SEEK GEO MAZE GAME

Geo is flying a kite today, it's windy in Seattle!

Geo: "I can't believe that we are actually here, Hell's Kitchen, hope that Gordon Ramsay in a good mood tonight."

John: "We haven't been served yet."

Geo: "I guess they are busy tonight." (Ramsay comes out of the kitchen)

Ramsay: "You, take off your cap." (Geo takes off his cap)

Geo: "Don't you mind if you autograph my menu." (Geo takes out the digital camera)

Ramsay: "So you intended to steal my menu, we lost hundreds everyday, who's your server."

Geo: "We been here over a hour, we haven't been served yet." (Ramsey grabbed a server alongside and bawl him out)

Ramsey: "Why haven't you serve my customers at this table?"

Server: "The Deaf, they don't leave tips."
Ramsay: "That's no way to treat my customers, you fired."

John: "Let's order."

Ramsay: "Geo, if you want my autograph, first exchange your Wolfgang Puck cap for ours, Ricky will be your server, he knows ASL, hope you enjoy your trip here in Las Vegas."

Ricky: "May I suggest a wine..." (signing)

Geo: "We'll have..."

John: "I heard that Matt Hamill will be fighting at the MGM."

Jason: "Can we see a captioned movie, 21, tonight?"

Joan: "No, we have tickets to the Blue Man at the Venetian."

Geo: "What brings you to Las Vegas?"

John: "We are here for the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) to see the Holography Relay Services (HRS) being unveiled."

Jeffrey: "My Dad went horseback riding at the Mustang Ranch alone."

Geo: "Yes, I went there horseback riding, too." (smile, the Deaf chat the night away)

Ricky: "Here's your check, is everything OK."

Geo: "Charge it!" (the Johnsons family left)

Ricky: "I'm sorry, Visa was denied."

Ramsay: "Is there a problem?"

Geo: "I am broke, I maxed out." (Ramsay tempers flares, grabs Geo and takes him to the kitchen)

Ramsay: "Geo, so you lost it all at poker, you going to stay here washing the dishes to pay off your debts."

Ricky: "Geo, the kitchen staff now are betting, the odds are 16-1 that you will not survive the night, welcome to Hell."

Ramsey: "Geo, these dishes are greasy, you can do better." (Geo sweat and toil all night, hoping that he'll live to tell his grandchildren)

Geo: "In Heaven there is no beer, that's why we are drinking here..." (singing and signing)

Ramsey: "You are in Hell, Geo..."

Geo: "In Hell there is no beer, that's why we are drinking here, when we are gone from here, our friends be drinking our beer." (kitchen staff sing in unison)

Ramsey: "Geo, restaurant packed, and you can't keep up, the junkyard dog can lick the dishes faster."

Ricky: "A famous restaurant critic is here..."

Geo: "Who cares, I rather be sold into slavery than to be an apprentice here."

Ramsey: "Geo, I thought you are a fan of my show, now you got the taste of reality." (Geo decides to take a break, make himself a meal, distracted by Wayne Newton entering the restaurant through the backdoor, the server took the meal that Geo set down on the counter)

Geo: "Ricky, you seen my meal I left here a moment ago?"

Ricky: "They just took it to that famous restaurant critic, Ramsay will have a field day."

Ramsay: "That's it, my reputation is ruined, Geo, get out of my sight, you're fired." (Geo get even, tip over a pile of dishes, left as it smashes to the mosaic floor tiles)

Restaurant critic: "Ramsay, get over here."

Ramsay: "I'm sorry, it isn't what you ordered, may I..."

Restaurant critic: "Cut out the (explicit), I want to meet the chef who prepared this..."

Ramsay: "I let him..."

Restaurant critic: "...this is the best recipes I ever had, ... bring the chef here." (Ramsay caught off-guard)

Ramsay: "I mean, that's his signature dish, Ricky will you find Geo..." (Ricky left seeking Geo, it's a maze out here in Las Vegas) "...it will be a moment." (Ramsay a nervous-wreck)

Ricky: "Geo, Geo, Geo, where are you?" (apparently he forgot that Geo is Deaf, anyway found him on the strip)

Geo: "Ricky, did Ramsay let you go too?" (puzzled)

Ricky: "Ramsay begging on his knees wants you back, that famous restaurant critic gave rave reviews to your recipes."

Geo: "It's just staples."

Ramsay: "Damn you, get in here, Geo, the critic wants to meet you."

Restaurant critic: "I didn't realized that Ramsay hired a famous Deaf chef from Paris...it will be in next month issue." (critic left after getting a backstage pass from Wayne Newton)

Geo: "I used to own a restaurant atop Eiffel Tower."

Wayne Newton: "Ramsay, I want the Geo's signature dish!"

Geo: "You lied to him that I am from Paris."

Ramsay: "You lied to him that you own a restaurant atop Eiffel Tower (smile), we are short on staff, we want you to be our new chef."

Geo: "You fired me, remember, no way will I be your chef after the way you treat me."

Ricky: "Ramsay, you better apologize to Geo."

Ramsay: "I will like to hire you as my new chef, your salary will be $250,000 a year, plus benefits."

Ricky: "Ramsay..."

Geo: "Get on your knees (unaware TV cameras are tapping this segment) and (explicit)."

Ramsay: "Your recipes, what's it?"

Geo: "It's just staples with noodles, anyone, even a caveman, can prepare this dish."
Ramsay: "...so it's the Geo Goulash, the meal that made Las Vegas famous, a new trademark."

Geo: "I don't like living in sin city."

Ramsay: "Here's a deal, you can open the new Hell's Kitchen franchise in Seattle."

Geo: "One more thing, since that I am a Supersonics fan, I want a skybox at the arena."

Geo: "Ricky, I want you to be my assistant to handle reservations, be my interpreter at business meetings and trade shows."

Ricky: "I am looking forward to moving to Seattle, can't put up with that bastard, Ramsay."

Ramsay: "You got it!"

Geo: "...and don't forget to send me a digital photo of yourself ,with a cap, for my blogsite."

Geo: "We are partners!" (searchlights, Space Needle in the background, Hollywood celebrities on hand as Ramsay and Geo, opens their new Hell's Kitchen restaurant in the emerald city)
