That's it! It is exactly one week since The White Elephant opened and still not one…
Peter
...customer!
Ceilia
What? A customer! Are you sure?
Peter
Yes. He's in there sitting down.
Gordon
Well, what does he want?
Peter
I don't know. I didn't ask him.
Mary
Chill out! I think it would be a really good idea to go and ask him.
Peter
Right. OK. Wait there.
Peter
Right, he says he wants the duck eggs and polenta fries but with a small change…
Gordon
Yes?
Peter
He wants a hen's egg instead of a duck's and… potato fries instead of polenta fries.
Gordon
What?! So he wants egg 'n' chips. I have not worked in some of the world's top restaurants to end up cooking egg and chips!.
Ceilia
Gordon, Gordon keep your hair on! Customer's is always right – and thank goodness we've got one. So, let's try to keep him happy and - who knows - he might bring his friends next time.
Gordon
Keep them happy?! It's alright for them to be happy, what about me? Egg and chips… I ask you…
Ceilia
Don't get your knickers in a twist Gordon.

Look, why don't I go and speak to him and see if wouldn't rather have Gordon's duck egg and polenta fries.
Ceilia
Thank you Mary.
Gordon
Well?
Mary
He's gone.
