The White Elephant 10: Angry
| Gordon: | That's it ... I've had it up to here. |
| Ceilia: | Gordon, you seem angrier than normal? |
| Gordon: | How can I work in these conditions? With stuff everywhere and the noise - it is driving me up the wall! Why can't I work in a professional kitchen like I used to? |
| Ceilia: | Because you got the sack. |
| Gordon: | We had creative differences that's all. |
| Ceilia: | OK, OK ... but don't blow a fuse. |
| Gordon: | Anyway I'm fed up to the back teeth with it, I've had enough. |
| Peter: | Oh, he's like a bear with a sore head! |
| Mary: | Yes he does seem to be at the end of his tether. Ceilia, have you got anybody else who can do the cooking tonight? |
| Ceilia: | No! The stand-by chef has got shingles. We can't be open today without a chef. |
| Peter: | I could have a go - I cooked a pizza once - although it was a frozen one from the supermarket. |
| Mary: | It's OK Peter, I'll go and talk to him. |
| Gordon: | I'm sorry for losing it. I just wanted to let you know how I felt. |
| Ceilia: | We understand ... OK are you ready to start preparing food? |
| Gordon: | Yes, of course. I'm going to make one of my special beef Wellingtons. |
| Ceilia: | What did you say to him? |
| Mary: | I just told him that a very important food critic had booked a table here tonight and might be writing about his food. |
| Ceilia: | But we don't have any reservations tonight do we? |
| Mary: | He doesn't need to know that! |
