ANTHONY SMALL PRESENTS
DINGO'S DINER
SEASON ONE
EPISODE 3
"If You're from Norway then go back to Norway"
[The episode begins with Gwen Jackson narrating as she is pulling into the Dingo’s Diner parking lot on a bright and early Thursday morning.]
Gwen
[Narrating]
I’ve been owner and corporate manager at Dingo’s Diner for a week in a half now. Aside from a pending lawsuit that is out of my control, and a few minor employee arguments: the experience overall has been welcoming and a blessing. As each day passes by, I realize why Dingo appointed me the position. He was a man of pure patience…I am a woman of pure patience. He trusted me. I am a fair person. I guess it’s just one of the many gifts God has blessed me with.
[Takes out her key, unlocks the diner door, and makes her way into the diner, and continues narrating]
The thing about new experiences is that you never know what’s coming…new experiences take time for you to get used to.
[Unlocks her office door and makes her way inside]
And sometimes new experiences are unexpected experiences…
[She sighs and paces towards her desk and pauses at the sight of a large rat on the desk]
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
[Gwen flings her purse at the rat and dashes out of the office in terror. 45 minutes later: Gwen, Crystal, and Brett are standing inside the diner conversing with an exterminator]
Brett
This is the most disgusting thing I’ve ever witnessed. And this includes the premiere of the “Flavor of Love” on VH1 back in 2006.
Gwen
[Muttering to herself]
I’ve never been too fond of mice…rats…
[Stammers]
Rodents…or anything close to the matter…
[Sighs]
Goodness…I can barely tolerate cats.
Crystal
[To the exterminator]
This diner has NEVER had a rodent problem.
[Lost for words, looks at the exterminator]
How do you think they got in?
Exterminator
Well they’re rats…they have a number of ways of getting in establishments like this.
[Points at the ceiling]
It could have been the vents, there could be a chewed out wall somewhere in here…
[Crystal looks around in panic]
…HOW they got in is questionable at the moment.
Gwen
THEY?
Exterminator
Where’s there’s one there’s more, ma’am.
[Mac makes his way into the diner and looks at them all curiously]
Mac
Good morning…what’s going on?
