Colette : People think haute cuisine is snooty, so chef must also be snooty. But not so. Lalo there ran away from home at twelve. Got hired by circus people as an acrobat. And then he get fired for messing around with the ringmaster's daughter. [pauses] Horst has done time. Linguini : What for? Colette : No one know for sure. He changes the story every time you asked him. Horst : [in a series of flashbacks] I defrauded a major corporation. I robbed the second-largest bank in France using only a ballpoint pen. I created a hole in the ozone over Avignon. I killed a man with this thumb. Colette : Don't ever play cards with Pompidou. He's been banned from Las Vegas and Monte Carlo. Larousse ran guns for the Resistance. Linguini : Which resistance? Colette : He won't say. Apparently, they didn't win.
