BBQ Buffet

Based on Luxembourg 1978
Baccara — Parlez-vous français ?

María and Mayte are enjoying their summer holiday. Lunchtime is approaching and Mayte knows that María gets hangry and can’t make decisions. Hence, Mayte has prepared accordingly. As they head towards the restaurant carefully preselected by Mayte, María is losing her patience…
 

Now, let’s move Mayte!

Come on and let’s get some food, some ribs or pasta?

Hm… (smiles) Or a crêpe, María?

You know more!

Wrong.

Did you go behind my back again and make a plan?

Hm… We’ll find food, don’t you fear. (walks to preselected restaurant)

Let’s go there maybe and see!

 

Herring with some salsa?

A pot pie with kiwi?

Bird curry?

Please hurry!

Don’t worry

I worry!

Come along, just be strong

The right bar seems (moping sounds from María) rather far, right?

Obscurely tucked away...

Let’s walk more

No, not more!

Or this joint? (points at preselected restaurant)

Yes, this joint!

True, this place may be where we belong

 

Let’s do a BBQ buffet

They serve fondue, chicken satay

A charming young waiter leads us to a table

He says his name is Carl-Hortense

 

Here at the BBQ buffet

We can eat like it’s Boxing Day

Just ignore the staring, no need for despairing

As we race through what’s on display

 

Check out that waiter, hmm, cute yet commanding

Carl-Hortense, for you I’m longing! (evil glares exchanged)

You’re a con

You’re too slow

You’re so gone

You’re a hoe

We just can’t get enough of his meat

 

Inside this BBQ buffet

A threat with abs has come our way

We don’t want to share him so now we’re declaring:

Who eats most food gets his sorbet

Let’s play!

 

María and Mayte are destroying their BBQ buffet, devouring all possible body parts of animals considered edible. Their two-hour time limit is approaching, and Mayte knows that María gets insane and can’t control herself. Hence, Mayte secretly knows she’ll win. As they are stuffing themselves, María is losing her will to live. But then they observe their hunky waiter leaving the restaurant holding hands with another man…

 

Carl-Hortense…

Are you still okay?

(whimpers)

We were such fools, all led astray

(whimpers, followed by melodic vomiting sounds)

Grab all your belongings, don’t want to prolong this

I don’t feel wanted and it hurts

 

Nothing left to say

We feel distressed beyond the pale

We try not to care but lunch has been digested

Let’s do a… Mexican buffet?
