Complete the Plot with Characters' Names

1. Remy is a rat who lives in the attic of a French country home with his brother Emile. Gifted with a keen sense of smell and taste, Remy aspires to be a gourmet chef, inspired by France's recently deceased top chef, Auguste Gusteau.

2. Urged on by Gusteau, Remy makes his way up to the restaurant's kitchen skylight to watch the staff in action. There, he observes Linguini being hired as an escuelerie by Collette, the restaurant's current owner and Gusteau's former sous-chef. When Linguini spills some of the soup and attempts to recreate it using random ingredients, Remy is horrified and falls into the kitchen; there, instead of escaping, he fixes the soup. The soup is served and found to be a success. Collette, the staff's only female chef, convinces Skinner to retain Linguini, believing him to be the success behind the soup.

3. Ego, a food critic whose past review cost Gusteau's one of its star ratings, announces he will review the restaurant again the next day based on its rising success. Ego is amazed by the dish, which evokes childhood memories of his mother's cooking. The film ends showing a long queue outside and a sign displaying a rat wearing a toque and holding a spoon, and below it the name "La Ratatouille."
