In my previous life I was Preston Sturges.
The Lady Eve. Sullivan’s Travels. Palm Beach Story.
Cut from The Lady Eve…(In the very busy kitchen, as the household staff prepares for a huge party honoring the apparent Lady Eve Sidwich)
CLOSE SHOT – THE CAKE
The Sidwich emblem has been beautifully worked upon it. A fine-pointed pastry gun puts one last blob on it for the eye of the lion.
THE STAFF (variously)
Ah! Superb! Wunderbar! Magnifico! Unmoeglich!
A work of art!
(The chef chucks his pastry gun onto an open book of family crests and seals — this would be Burke’s Peerage — and shakes his head bitterly.)
THE CHEF (sadly)
Yes…but where is it tomorrow?
