Transcript

Panel 1 : Int. Auxiliary Hall – Day

Two Judges look over Chef Alexis’ cake. One of them has a clipboard. Alexis stands alongside it with a smile.

Judge #1
…And what have we here?
Chef Alexis
This is a peanut butter banana cake with whipped ganache.
Panel 2 : Int. Auxiliary Hall – Moments Later

Two Judges look over Chef Rie’s cake. Rie stands alongside it with a smile.

Judge #1
…And this?
Chef Rie
A chocolate hazelnut cake with salted caramel sauce.
Panel 3 : Int. Auxiliary Hall – Moments Later

Two Judges look over Kevin’s cake. He stands nearby, arms crossed, smoking.

Kevin
This is a yellow sheet cake I bought at the grocery store.
Panel 4 : Int. Auxiliary Hall – Later
