The White Elephant, Episode 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.

CAPTION: 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.
