Mr Lepotter: (on the phone) Me, and my small wife Lynda Lepotter, own a small garden centre just outside Wimsley - and we were wondering if you'd like to come along and open it for us. You see, we can't get in...
Leonard Lepotter is readying himself for a big day. Wimsley Small Garden Centre is to open its gates to the public on Sunday. It's Saturday and preparations are well underway.
Mrs Lepotter: No, I don't like that wall, smash it down. (the wall tumbles) Yes!
Mr Lepotter: Erm... don't you think we've made enough structural changes at this late stage of the proceedings?
Mrs Lepotter: Could someone hire me some ribbon and an oaf? Place that hosepipe 'cross the path. Hey, you, there's a plant obscuring my view. (tree felling) Lovely. Now Leonard, didn't I say we didn't want any plants here?
Mr Lepotter: Yes dear - I had them all stolen. They may have missed a few...
Mrs Lepotter: Get the flamethrower.
Meanwhile, in the café annexe, tempers are flaming - a bit like a fire.
Chef: I insist that all customers be patient with the bonbons!
Waitress: That won't go down well round 'ere I'm telling you.
Chef: My reputation as a nice, quality chef will be in tatters if our distinguished guest is unable to experience the full extent of my culinary persuasion.
Waitress: I don't care if it's Pope I'm serving, there's no way I'm handling low-velocity bonbons. They smell sweetly.
Chef: You should be struck down for that.
Waitress: Thanks! (lightning bolt)
Meanwhile, Leonard speaks to the press in order to promote tomorrow's events.
Mr Lepotter: Yes, we'll be open... 7 days a week you know... but only 1 hour on Sundays... 4 to 5 am... we have an old man who comes in... well, in fact it's not a man, it's a dog in a man mask...
In the Pet Centre, Riggy the Pug is brushing up on customer relations.
Riggy: Avez-vous un cuppa?
Chef: Stop showing off Riggy. No-one speaks French these days.
Riggy: Do you want me to eat that for you?
Chef: No, mein mädchen pug, it's "heat", not "eat"...
Riggy: Do you want me to eat that for you?
Chef: Oh well, let's not worry our tiny heads about that one.
Riggy: No.
Chef: Chapter 4. What to say to awkward customers.
Riggy: Bottom.
Chef: That's good, but lacks face.
Riggy: Come on Barbie, let's go party.
Chef: For goodness sake Riggy; do I have to do it all for you? Give me your mouth.
Riggy: Nnngh... sau-sa-ges...
Chef: Good one.
Riggy: Sausages. Sausages... sausages.
The big day finally arrives. It's 3:55am and the celebrities are here.
Mrs Lepotter: Dance, Portillo, dance... I want those floorboards clean... as if new, or at least tuned...
Mr Lepotter: Chesney, I'd like you to meet our staff...
Chesney Hawkes: Hello sir.
Riggy: Arf!
Chesney Hawkes: Ooh!
Mr Lepotter: It's a man, I tell you...
Riggy: Buttocks.
Mrs Lepotter: Tell Mr President to keep his dingy mitts off that node!
Waitress: Gimme a plant.
Mrs Lepotter: We don't sell plants.
Mr Lepotter: What do we sell?
Riggy: A frontispiece. My punk lawn. Sausages. Rotary splines. The spider king. That nice clan. Sausages. Gerbils. Bonbons. Sausages. And you.
Waitress: I'll buy the lot.
Mr Lepotter: No! You wouldn't!
Mrs Lepotter: You shouldn't!
Waitress: I shall! Face it fools, I'm taking you over. From now on, this place sells nothing but eggs.
Mr Lepotter: Oh, well, that sounds rather jolly.
Mrs Lepotter: More popular than rotary splines these days I suppose...
Chef: (running in) Stop - I'll offer you 9000 facial inventions if you let me turn this place into Ainsley Harriot's Top Pop Bonbon Shop.
Riggy: Too late. I am Wimsley.
Waitress: But how?
Riggy: Conglomerates.
Chef: Such as?
Riggy: Sausages. (all laugh, then stop rather suddenly as the garden centre collapses) Hooray! Jo mumma still be lovin' ein pug tonight!
