The White Elephant 27: Fashion
Mary: | It's quiet without Gordon today. |
Ceilia: | It's nice isn't it! He said he was going for a fitting but I'm not sure what for though. Ahh, here he comes now. |
Mary: | Good morning Gordon. Bad hair day?! |
Gordon: | Excuse me? |
Ceilia: | Keep your hair on! Don't forget we've got some students coming in for lunch today so none of your old-fashioned dishes ... give them something contemporary – modern. |
Gordon: | Leave it to me. I'm down with the kids. |
Mary: | You've got it covered?! |
Gordon: | Yes I have ... oh I see, you're referring to this ... my new toupee ... my wig. I'm just keeping up with the fashion. |
Mary: | And what fashion is that then? |
Gordon: | A new hair style – these are all the rage – the women love it. |
Mary: | After a fashion. |
Ceilia: | I thought that wigs were a bit ... old hat. And if you are going to cook in that, then wear it underthis hat, for now |
Gordon: | I knew you two couldn't handle my new fashion statement. |
Ceilia: | You're being a fashion victim – we liked the old you. |
Gordon: | Well you're stuck with the new me now. Just leave me to cook! |
Mary: | Ooops, looks like you've made a fashion faux pas ... |
Ceilia: | ... there appears to be hair in the soup! |
Peter: | Hair in the soup? Keep your voice down ... everyone will want one. |
