Colette : Who made something she liked. How can we claim to represent the name of Gusteau if he don't uphold his most cherished belief?
Skinner : And what belief is that Mademoiselle Tatou?
Colette : Anyone can cook.
Skinner : Perhaps I have been a bit harsh on our new garbage boy. He has taken a bold risk, and we should reward that, as Chef Gusteau would have. If he wishes to swim in dangerous waters, who are we to deny him?
