Your students will love this one!! A bunch of English football fans decide to go for an Indian after the Friday match... Friday of course is the day when the English get plastered (on principle!) and this lot are no exception... Rowan Atkinson (as the Indian restaurant owner) tries his best to get them to behave and make sense of what it is they want to order... with mixed success... Enjoy! Level: B2 -- C1 Topic: Food / Restaurants Taken from a live performance by Rowan Atkinson [NB: I do not own the copyright to this video clip. I have uploaded it here for educational purposes].
SCRIPT
Oh! Ah! Good evening, gentlemen! No, no -- that's no problem, come in please... although..sh-sh... although.. perhaps if we can just keep that delightful singing down a little bit... Oh! dear... obviously plenty of refreshment at the football game... No, come in, do... Oh -- no, no... That table is reserved... it is also a table for two people * perhaps.. perhaps this table might be more suitable for... nine... * If you'd like to step this way gentlemen please... Oh! Dear... here, let me help you up... * No, no... it is a tricky bit of floor that... deceptively flat... * If you'd like to take a seat... Ah, yes! Or perhaps -- on the chair... * There we are... Right! Right -- what would anybody... quiet! Sh -- sh... quiet -- quiet gentlemen, please quiet... What would anybody like to drink? Nine pints of lager... * Eighteen pints of lager... * Eighteen pints of lager, Rajiv -- here at once! Now -- if you'd just like to take a menu.. I'll just pass those round... And one for you, sir. Oh dear! There we go -- straight onto the floor... * Here, let me pick it up for you... Oh! and again... I'll tell you what -- try and grip it, sir * either side, between the thumb and the forefinger; if you grip it won't always fall onto the floor -- tell you what, why don't we just put it on the table? Here, let me rest it against your friend's... head... * Here we are! There -- it should be fine... Right, now -- what would anybody like to eat? Ah -- oh -- ah... it is a lamb dish, sir... Yes, marinated lamb in coconut with a cream sauce... very nice! No, not f.... hot sir, * it is a... how can I put it? it is a... it is a medium-spiced dish. * Oh, oh in that case.. no, in that case you want the Bombay duck -- no, no 'Duck' * 'Duck' with a 'D' oh I see... it was your little joke... * Very funny... well done, well done everybody on that one -- that was very good... Ah, no, no... it is the 'Shikh Kebab' that is like two little... turds... * The 'Shami Kebab' is a sort of mince-and-onion gristle (?) A bit like cow-dung, yes, but in smaller portions... * Ah, Rajiv! Thank you -- if you'd like to put the drinks down... Oh, well, can we move your friend here? Well.. perhaps if we just roll him... that's a good idea... perhaps if we just roll him out of his cutlery... and into the mango chutney... Don't worry, he'll be fine there... Thank you, Rajiv -- you can go! * Now... would anybody like any raita -- that's a kind of a yogurt dip, sort of onion and cucumber... yes... Look -- I think we'd better wake up your friend here -- no, he is not just having a little nap; he is having a little nap face down in a pitcher of beer... * he is going to drown... * Oh, very well, very well -- Oh! oh dear... no, no, don't worry sir... much better out than in, eh? * don't worry... don't worry about a thing... Just leaves all the more room for your... chicken curry -- thank you very much... * indeed... Eer.. do you know what your friend here might like to eat? Hello! * What would you like to eat? ... A hot dog... * OK... I'll see what I can do... So let me go back on this, please -- we want a cucumber raita, an onion raita, a paperback raita **... but I'm presuming that's a joke * 4 Meat Curry, one Bombay Duck, 4 rice, 4 shami Kebab, and a hot-dog... and anything else for starters? Just some poppadoms -- and -- salad -- and -- yogurt -- and -- shit... * OK...I'll see what I can do... * although I'm not sure you'll be needing that last item * as you all seem quite full enough of shit already!! **
