The White Elephant 8: Lucky
| Gordon: | Mary, today is your lucky day! |
| Mary: | Oh really Gordon, why's that? |
| Gordon: | I have made a fabulous meal using just one large pan. So not much washing-up for you! |
| Mary: | Oh, lucky me! |
| Gordon: | Yes and it's nearly ready - just one more chilli for luck. Peter! |
| Peter: | Yes Mr Gordon ... you called? |
| Gordon: | I want you to take that pan to table 3 and watch their faces light up with amazement. Be careful! |
| Mary: | Do you want a hand? |
| Peter: | It's OK Mary, leave this with me. |
| Gordon: | This is my signature dish - the recipe fell into my lap years ago when I worked at one of the world's top restaurants - you wouldn't have heard of it. |
| Mary: | Oh wouldn't I? Well, it has got a lot of chilli in it so it's not to everyone's taste. |
| Peter: | Water! Water! |
| Gordon: | Where's the fire? Where's the fire? |
| Peter: | No fire ... chilli ... too much chilli. They don't like it ... |
| Gordon: | Idiots! They don't know good food when they've seen it! |
| Peter: | They want something plain ... simpler ... |
| Gordon: | Boring you mean. Right, I'll have to make spaghetti bolognaise. Well, now I'll need some pots and pans ... |
| Mary: | There's a stroke of luck - I've washed all these! ... better luck next time! |
