Gordon
Right, gather round everybody. I want you to try my new recipe. Ostrich lasagne.

Peter
Ostrich?! As in the very tall bird?

Gordon
Yes, and a very healthy and lean meat to eat. Now, would you like to try some or is it too sophisticated for you Peter?

Peter
No - I'd love to try some. Mmm delicious. Very... ostrichy.

Mary
Tastes a bit like chicken.

Ceilia
Yes... something of an after taste... it's a bit like... mouldy cheese.

Gordon
I am sick to death of your comments Ceilia. I'm trying to create a new menu - as you asked me to.

Peter
Ooh, sorry, I feel a bit off colour.

Ceilia
Gordon, that's not a good sign. 

Mary
Actually, I feel a bit queasy... sorry Gordon, something's not quite right.

Gordon
Is this some kind of sick joke?

Ceilia
No sick joke Gordon... errr... I need to dash.

Gordon
Typical! I'm sick of this... I try to make them something new and they just make a fuss. It smells alright to me.

FROM THE RESTAURANT
Waiter! Waiter!

Gordon
Alright, keep your hair on, we'll be there in a minute. Look at this kitchen, now I've got to cook, clean and serve. Honestly, you wouldn't get this at The Poison Ivy.

Ceilia
Something in that made me as sick as a dog.

Gordon
Well, I'm as sick as a parrot - I've been preparing this all morning.

Peter
Parrot? Did you put parrot in instead of ostrich?

Mary
No he didn't Peter... it was certainly ostrich... look, it's a week out of date.

FROM THE RESTAURANT
Waiter! Waiter!
