All: | 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... |
Gordon: | That's it! It is exactly one week since The White Elephant opened and still not one ... |
Peter: | ... customer! |
Ceilia: | What? A customer! Are you sure? |
Peter: | Yes. He's in there sitting down. |
Gordon: | Well, what does he want? |
Peter: | I don't know. I didn't ask him. |
Mary: | Chill out! I think it would be a really good idea to go and ask him. |
Peter: | Right. OK. Wait there. |
Peter: | Right, he says he wants the duck eggs and polenta fries but with a small change ... |
Gordon: | Yes? |
Peter: | He wants a hen's egg instead of a duck's and ... potato fries instead of polenta fries. |
Gordon: | What?! So he wants egg 'n' chips. I have not worked in some of the world's top restaurants to end up cooking egg and chips!. |
Ceilia: | Gordon, Gordon keep your hair on! Customer's is always right – and thank goodness we've got one. So, let's try to keep him happy and - who knows - he might bring his friends next time. |
Gordon: | Keep them happy?! It's alright for them to be happy, what about me? Egg and chips ... I ask you ... |
Ceilia: | Don't get your knickers in a twist Gordon. |
Mary: | Look, why don't I go and speak to him and see if wouldn't rather have Gordon's duck egg and polenta fries. |
Ceilia: | Thank you Mary. |
Gordon: | Well? |
Mary: | He's gone. |
