RATATOUILLE:
THE HEALTH INSPECTOR has just entered. His eyes bug at the surreal sight: the KITCHEN IS FILLED WITH RATS. Slowly, he backs toward the EXIT... and BOLTS! REMY STOP THAT HEALTH INSPECTOR! Immediately DJANGO leads half the RAT CLAN after the inspector, yelling as he exits out the door. DJANGO DELTA TEAM FOLLOW ME! THE REST OF YOU STAY AND HELP REMY! ALLEY BEHIND GUSTEAU'S - INSIDE INSPECTOR'S CAR The inspector JAMS his keys into the ignition and turns. The ENGINE won't turn over. He glances at the rear view mirror and sees: a ground-level STAMPEDE OF RATS moving out from the kitchen TOWARD HIM. The RATS engulf the car, covering it like a blanket. The ENGINE comes to life. Tires SQUEAL, smoking as the car roars from the alley in reverse and pulls a 180 into the street, the rats covering it like a grey moss-- KITCHEN - SAME TIME The dishwasher opens with a WHOOSH of steam: DOZENS OF RATS EMERGE, their fur clean and fluffy. They disperse with Swat Team precision as Remy barks orders. REMY TEAM THREE: WILL BE HANDLING DISH, TEAM FOUR: ROASTED ITEMS, TEAM FIVE: GRILL, TEAM SIX: SAUCES! GET TO YOUR STATIONS! LET'S GO GO GO! LINGUINI Emerges from his office and is astonished by the sight. Remy and the rats see this is suddenly PAUSE. Linguini walks up to Remy, suddenly filled with purpose. 107. LINGUINI We need someone to wait tables. Remy NODS. CUT TO: CHEFS OFFICE Linguini turns his backpack upside down. A pair of ROLLER BLADES hit his desk with a CLUNK. DINING AREA Linguini, wearing the blades and a WAITERS OUTFIT, explodes through the double doors and sweeps into the dining room, distributing MENUS to the diners with economical precision, followed miraculously by DRINKS, BREAD, WATER. He arrives at Skinner's table to refill his water. LINGUINI No, I'm sorry for any delay, but we're a little short tonight. Skinner glances at EGO, who is scowling as he scribbles in a note pad. A big smile stretches across Skinner's face. SKINNER Please. Take all the time you need. KITCHEN The kitchen is going like blazes; RATS are sauteing, spicing, grilling, cooking up a storm. Remy, nearly overwhelmed with the scale of production, is miraculously handling it. Stationed at the pass, EMILE wipes the sauce of the edges of the plates with a cloth, the last crucial bit of quality control. Tempted by the sauce, he tries to sneak a lick. REMY (O.S.) EMILE! EMILE (stopping himself) Sorry! DINING AREA - SAME TIME Ego looks impatiently at his watch, scribbles in his notepad. Then his eyes fall to the soup. He pulls the bowl to him, dips a spoon in, TASTING IT. Not bad... 108. KITCHEN The RATS are functioning like a well-oiled machine; the perfectly prepared meals hit the pass as quickly as Linguini can grab them. The back door pushes open to REVEAL: COLETTE-- staggered by the bizarre spectacle. Looking like she may vomit, she wheels back to the exit, when Linguini rushes in, throwing his arms around her. LINGUINI Colette! You came back. Colette, I-- COLETTE DON'T say a word. If I think about it I might change my mind. Just tell me what the rat wants to cook. MOMENTS LATER Remy flips through Gusteau's recipe box, finds a certain card and pulls it, showing it to Colette. She frowns. COLETTE Ratatouille? It's a peasant dish. Are you sure you want to serve this to Ego? Remy NODS. Colette shrugs and starts to prepare the dish. A TIRE SCREECH is followed by a LOUD CRASH outside. COLETTE looks up as the back door bangs open: the HEALTH INSPECTOR, bound and gagged, floats across the floor on a cushion of RATS, who quickly dump him in the food safe. Colette shrugs, going with the strange night, and goes to add the first spice to the ratatouille, but is blocked by a WOODEN SPOON. She looks up: sees it's held by Remy. COLETTE What. I'm making the ratatouille... He looks at the her ingredients and makes a face. COLETTE Well, how would you prepare it? Remy PAUSES, considering this. 109. KITCHEN / DINING AREA INTERCUT: (1) Remy REIMAGINING the ratatouille; re-inventing it step by step and demonstrating what he wants to Colette, who expertly follows through-- WITH (2) LINGUINI skating around the dining room, a ONE-MAN WAIT STAFF. MUSIC CRESCENDOS as LINGUINI delivers the meal to EGO'S TABLE. Linguini then serves the identical meal to Skinner, who's appalled and amused to find that Ego has been served-- SKINNER Ratatouille? They must be joking... He looks over at Ego, who seems equally unimpressed. ON EGO He pokes a fork into the vegetables, examines them for a moment, then brings the food to his lips-- Linguini watches, withering. As Ego's lips close around the ratatouille, the sound, the restaurant around him is WHISKED AWAY-

REMY EQUIPO TRES: MANIPULARÁ PLATO, EQUIPO CUATRO: ARTÍCULOS ASADOS, EQUIPO CINCO: GRILL, EQUIPO SEIS: SALSAS! ¡LLEGA A TUS ESTACIONES! ¡VAMOS, VAMOS VAMOS! LINGUINI sale de su oficina y queda asombrado por la vista. Remy y las ratas ven que esto es de repente una PAUSA. Linguini se acerca a Remy, repentinamente lleno de propósito. 107. LINGUINI Necesitamos a alguien que sirva las mesas. Remy asiente. CORTE A: OFICINA DEL COCINERO Linguini da la vuelta a su mochila. Un par de CUCHILLAS DE RODILLOS golpearon su escritorio con un CLUNK. ÁREA DE COMEDOR Linguini, luciendo las espadas y un TRAJE DE CAMAREROS, estalla por las puertas dobles y se adentra en el comedor, distribuyendo MENUS a los comensales con precisión económica, seguido milagrosamente de BEBIDAS, PAN, AGUA.
