The White Elephant 22: Disaster
| Peter: | This is all very exciting. Everybody wants the sushi ... |
| Gordon: | That's because tonight is our special 'Sushi Night', idiot - a chance for me to cook something really special for people with appreciation of real exotic food. |
| Mary: | It's raw fish isn't it Gordon? No cooking required. |
| Peter: | Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Well, at least you can't burn it. |
| Gordon: | You wouldn't understand. The only fish you eat is deep fried with chips. Now out of the way. |
| Peter: | Oh dear! Let's just put them on the plate shall we ... no one will notice. |
| Mary: | I'll help you. |
| Gordon: | It's ruined now. Why don't you go and do some waiting while I work out what to do next? |
| Ceilia: | How's our 'Sushi Night' coming on - got everything under control Gordon? |
| Gordon: | No - we're up the creek without a paddle! Peter has just made me drop my sushi and I've got no more sushi rice - I can't make any more. |
| Ceilia: | Oh dear, is our Sushi Night on the brink of disaster? |
| Gordon: | I need more sushi rice - I'm going to have to go and buy some - you wouldn't know what to get. Mary why don't you entertain the customers by reading your ... philosophy thesis? |
| Mary: | Hang on Ceilia, isn't this the rice Gordon was using? |
| Ceilia: | I think so. |
| Mary: | OK, leave it to me. |
| 10 MINUTES LATER. | |
| Gordon: | I've told him before, if he does this again ... what kind of Asian supermarket doesn't sell sushi rice?! This whole evening is a disaster ... oh ... Where'd you get that? |
| Ceilia: | Disaster averted! Mary made these and saved the day again. Peter! |
| Peter: | Yes? |
| Ceilia: | Can you take these out to the customers and apologise for the delay? |
| Peter: | That was a close shave. |
| Gordon: | Yes, good thing I always make a point of having some spare ingredients. |
