The White Elephant 4: Annoyed
| Mary: | Are you OK, Gordon? |
| Gordon: | Yes. Just leave me to cook. |
| Mary: | OK, don't bite my head off. |
| Ceilia: | Is everything OK? |
| Gordon: | It's this recipe - I can't get it right. It's doing my head in. |
| Ceilia: | Maybe I could help? |
| Gordon: | What do you know about cooking?! Don't forget: I'm the chef. |
| Ceilia: | Well, I used to cook for you at home, when we were married - before I became your boss. |
| Gordon: | That was beans on toast - this is very different. |
| Peter: | Table three ... or is it two ... wants to know where their food is. |
| Ceilia: | Maybe I could just help you ... |
| Gordon: | For crying out loud! You're driving me crackers! You've ruined it! What am I going to do now? |
| Peter: | Maybe ... I could go and get something ready-made from the supermarket? |
| Gordon: | From the supermarket!!! Don't make my blood boil more than it already is. Do you think world-class chefs buy ready meals from the supermarket? Honestly! |
| Mary: | OK, don't blow your top. When I was young my mum would add a spoonful of mustard into all her cooking and it made everything taste so nice. Now, why not give that a go? |
| Ceilia: | Go on Gordon, give that a go, and maybe it will stop you getting so hot under the collar. |
| Gordon: | Very well. Hmm, doesn't taste bad. I think I've created something good here. |
| Peter: | Well done Mary - we should name the dish 'The Mary Miracle Meal' after you! |
| Gordon: | No, I don't think so. We'll call it 'Gordon's Greatest Goulash'. |
