Eat what you like

SCENE OPENS ON A CHINESE RESTAURANT SIGN
"EAT AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE FOR JUST £10"

CUT TO THE INSIDE OF THE RESTARAUNT WHERE A CUSTOMER IS WAITING TO PAY.

CHINESE CASHIER
OK so you have the buffet, that is ten pounds prease

CUSTOMER
Here you are

CHINESE CASHIER
But this only five pounds

CUSTOMER
Yes, I would like to have eaten twice as much but I don't have the time

CHINESE CASHIER
But eat what you like is ten pounds

CUSTOMER
Yes I know but like I said I don't have the time, besides I don't have the money either

CHINESE CASHIER
This no go for me you eat my buffet but only pay half

CUSTOMER
Yes but I only ate half

CHINESE CASHIER
So how we resolve this

CUSTOMER
How about I come back tomorrow, eat the other half, and give you the rest of the money

CHINESE CASHIER
OK but you make sure you come back

CUSTOMER
Oh you have my word

AS THE MAN LEAVES THE CHINESE GIVES A REASSURING NOD AS HE SAYS UNDER HIS BREATH

CHINESE CASHIER
You have to get up early to make fool of Johnny Chung

Haha very good.

Quality!

Laughing out loud

"You have to get up early in morning to make fool of Jimmy Chung" has catchphrase potential. This poor bastard getting outwitted in every scenario, but in his mind coming out on top.

Really really nice script and a great concept!! Look forward to reading more!

Clever idea, nicely written :)

I like this clever play on conceptions a real idea sketch.
