THE CASE OF THE GREATER GATSBY INTERSTITAL 1 - ELLEE’S PIZZA PARLOR TRANSCRIPT
[Jaunty music plays]
Announcer: Fig and Ford will return next week with a brand new episode of The Case of the Greater Gatsby. For now, a brief word from our sponsor.
[SFX: A brick oven SIZZLES. A cash register POPS open.]
Announcer: After a long day walking down Hollywood boulevard, I like to stop in and see my gal Ellee at her pizza parlor for a snack.
Ellee: Hello there, voice of every commercial!
Announcer: My reputation precedes me! I'll have my usual. Thanks.
Ellee: Hey, can I get an order up of mozzarella sticks, a whole mushroom pepperoni pie, breadsticks, a bowl of olives, calamari fritti, chicken tenders, Jimmy Nardellos, a tiramisu, and a strawberry gelato pie for the guy out front?
Line Cook: Is that all for one guy?
Ellee: Yeah just one guy.
Line Cook: ONE guy is gonna eat all that?
Ellee: One man.
Line Cook: Is he taking some home to like a wife or a football player neighbor or something?
Ellee: Doesn't look like it.
Announcer: (uncomfortable) Haha. Silly Ellee, that's not my usual order! Just the... mushroom pepperoni pizza, please.
Ellee: No, that's not right, you always get all of those things - all of them - and then you sit there in the window and eat them in their entirety. And no one knows how you do it. We talk about it all the time.
Announcer: Well, memory can be a fuzzy thing.
Ellee: No. No. They call me “Ellee the Elephant” because of my infallible memory.
Announcer: (sheepish) OK you're right, gimme the goods.
Ellee: That's a-go on the order Jimmy!
Announcer: After Ellee's, why not stop over at Bixby's Lounge next door where, if you ask nicely, he might just give you a cookie for dessert!
Line Cook: This guy’s talking about cookies now? My man, you are overdoing it on your macros.
Announcer: OK, since when is it everyone's business to comment on what I eat during my existential crisis?!
Ellee: Sorry. We'll throw in an extra breadstick.
Announcer: Thank you.
