The White Elephant 29: Competition
| Ceilia: | So I was at the bus stop but then I decided to walk, but these shoes - they're just not designed for ... oh, what's this? |
| Mary: | Goodness. It looks like Gordon has finally pulled out all of the stops and actually made something amazing! |
| Ceilia: | It must be the bake-off competition - always makes an effort when there's something to win! The first prize is £500. |
| Mary: | Hi Gordon. Fantastic cake. |
| Gordon: | Cake? What cake? |
| Mary: | This one. Did you make it for the competition? |
| Ceilia: | The bake-off. The first prize is £500. |
| Gordon: | Oh ... the competition ... yes, that's my cake. It's rather good isn't it? Yes, I think the attention to detail will put me ahead of the game. |
| Ceilia: | It is amazing how much effort you can put in when there's big money up for grabs. |
| Gordon: | It's not about the money, Ceilia, but this should really blow the competition away. |
| Mary: | But don't forget you'll be in competition with some of the best bakers in the business. |
| Gordon: | Don't worry about that. I had better just go and put this in a box so we can send it off to the judges - we don't want to miss the deadline. |
| Mary: | May the best man win! |
| Peter: | Best man? Is someone getting married? |
| Mary: | No, I was just wishing him luck for the bake-off competition. |
| Peter: | Oh is he entering too? I've been baking all night to make a cake for the competition. I put it over ... here. Has anyone seen my cake? |
| Ceilia: | Was it a chocolate cake with a cream top? |
| Peter: | Yes! |
| Mary: | Gordon, I think you've got Peter's cake. |
| Gordon: | Yes ... I was going to help him deliver it. There you go Peter, and - nice cake, probably needs a little bit more cream. |
| Peter: | Thank you. |
| Ceilia: | You win some, you lose some. And this time you definitely lost! |
