Man sitting at the table, Mungo and others in “The Dirty Fork”

Mungo (Head chef) [Shouting] You bastards! You vicious, heartless bastards!

MSMan sitting at the table

[Chuckles]

MMungo

Look what you've done to him! He's worked his fingers to the bone to make this place what it is, and you come in with your petty, feeble quibbling, and you drive him into the dirt! This fine, honorable man whose boots you're not worthy to kiss! Oh, it makes me mad! Mad!

[He chops a cleaver into the table, stick it into it]

[Gilberto (the headwaiter) walks out of the kitchen to comfort Mungo]

GGilberto

Easy, Mungo, easy.

MMungo

Mad!

GGilberto

Mungo!

[Gilberto suddenly gets a jolt of pain in his head, gripping it with his hands]

GGilberto

Oh! The war wound!

MMungo

The wound! The wound!

Manager [Standing up again after crying at the table] It's the end!

MMungo

Ahhh! They've destroyed him!

MManager

The end! [Stabs himself with the fork]

ASAll the staff at once

[Screaming]

[The manager drops to the floor]

MMungo

He's dead! They killed him! Revenge! Revenge! [He picks the cleaver up and prepares to swing at the man. Gilberto stops him at the height of his swing]

GGilberto

No! Mungo, Mungo! Never kill a customer... Oh! The wound! The wound again!

[Gilberto drops to the floor as Mungo raises his cleaver again, screaming]

[Gaston, the waiter then runs out of the kitchen and jumps on Mungo, making them both crash onto the table]

[A black screen appears with the caption: "And now... the punch line]"

MMan

[Cutting back to the restaurant] Lucky we didn't say anything about the dirty knife!

[The audience boos him]

MMan

Oh no come on! No, no, no! No! No!
