• Georgina : When you make a menu, how do you price out each dish?

  Richard Borst : I charge a lot for anything black. Grapes, olives, blackcurrants. People like to remind themselves of death, eating black food is like consuming death, like saying, "Death, I'm eating you." Black truffles are the most expensive, and caviar. Death and birth. The end and the beginning. Don't you think it's appropriate that the most expensive items are black? We also charge for vanity. Diet foods have an additional surcharge of 30 percent. Aphrodisiacs, 50 percent.

• Albert : This custard's salty!

  Richard Borst : It is sauce Hollandaise.

• Georgina : Cook Michael for me.

  Richard Borst : No.

  Georgina : This was his favourite restaurant! It's also mine! Cook Michael for me!
