Quotes
-
Gloria Lee : My cookbooks were a Bible in every kitchen of America.
Leland McKenzie : Lady.
Meredith Tudor : Looking isn't about measuring cups and ingredients anymore. It's about the total dining experience.
Gloria Lee : You're always for a shortcut, but I never thought you'd stoop to stealing my recipe.
Meredith Tudor : They're not your recipes.
Leland McKenzie : All right. That's enough.
[Meredith is making origami]
Leland McKenzie : And what - What is that?
Meredith Tudor : Origami. There relaxes me.
Leland McKenzie : Oh. Mr. Venturelli?
Stan Venturelli : I'm finished.
Leland McKenzie : Well, we've obviously reached an impasse. Miss Lee, you can't produce that spy. Miss Tudor, you can't explain why your recipes are so strikingly similar to Miss Lee's, I had hoped that we could reach some sort of compromise here, but I, I don't know.
Gloria Lee : How about a cook-off?
Meredith Tudor : A cook-off? Didn't does go out with quilting bees?
Leland McKenzie : No. What, what would that accomplish, Miss Lee?
Gloria Lee : There are 16 recipes in dispute. We each cook our own version and then see if there's any significant difference. If there isn't, that proves she's a thief.
Leland McKenzie : Oh, well, who do the tasting?
Jack Sterns : You would.
Leland McKenzie : Oh, oh, no, no, that would be highly irregular and I'm really not qualified for that.
Jack Sterns : You eat, don't you?
Stan Venturelli : And you're the one who's arbitrating this case.
Leland McKenzie : Would you agree to a cook-off, Miss Tudor?
Meredith Tudor : Why not. My recipes are unique.
Leland McKenzie : All right. Bring the food in on Thursday, but only very small portion.
