        Michel: So, you have taken my baker?

        Jack Bourdain: I have taken your baker. I am a baker taker!

        Michel: And you don't think it was a little bit excessive?

        Jack Bourdain: EXCESSIVE? Uh, you raided my menu.

        Michel: Why are you so threatened by me, eh? Is it because maybe you see in me what you hate in yourself?

        Jack Bourdain: Oh, no I don't have an annoying, filthy Frenchman in me.

        Michel: Ha! Everybody's got an annoying, filthy Frenchman in them Jack, just ask your girlfriend.

        Jack Bourdain: She's not my girl... Take the Lamb off the menu.

        Michel: Return my creepy baker then we'll talk.

        Jack Bourdain: [laughs] no.
