Well, we have a slight problem here that you might help us with...
I am listening...
Well, we were wondering if we could keep an elephant in your garden.
What?!
It would be just for a few weeks, madam.
Excuse me?!!
Don't worry, it is a very friendly elephant, it's name is Franta.
I don't understand...
It just needs two carloads of hey per day, madam, it won't be a problem.
Is this some kind of a joke?
No, madam, this is an emergency. We need to put him somewhere.
But why us.
Well, we have selected you randomly...
But what if it bites me.
Oh, don't worry, madam, elephants are not poisonous.
How do you know?
They don't have any venom, trust me. So could we...
Wait, wait, wait,... I don't need this. Call someone else.
Don't hang up, madam, please. We have to have Franta placed by tomorrow.
So? That's your problem. Besides, our daughter is elephant-allergic.
Oh, that's ok. This one doesn't smell. It takes shower every day.
Incidentally, how big is your bathroom?
Are you trying to insinuate that I am going to be sharing my bathroom
with an elephant?
Just for a few weeks, madam. That's almost like nothing. And it can scrub
your back too, if you want...
No way...and please, call someone else!
It can also water your garden. It's got a great trunk.
No thanks, we grow only a few desert plants.
Oh! You have a desert in your garden? You didn't tell me that.
Franta loves deserts. It's an african elephant.
In that case I am sorry, I kind of prefer Indian ones.
Oh do you! I can't believe this! That's perfect. Actually, I didn't
tell you the whole story. We've got one African elephant to place and two
Indian ones. So you can either make a choice, or if you REALLY like them
you can have them both. It's a special offer.
Two elephants? You must be crazy!
Believe me, madam, two elephants are much better than one. They will
just play together on your lawn and you won't even notice them.
Of course, I WILL notice them.
No, you won't, at least not if you use the back door.
Sir! This is my house and I am going to enter it whichever way I please!
Oh, that's for sure, no doubt about that. But wouldn't you like a bigger
door? For instance, for those times when you come home with huge shopping bags.
What the door has to do with our problem.
I just thought that if you wanted a bigger door, you would just let
the elephants come in and take a shower and the door would just kind of
adjust itself. And, perhaps, you'd need a bigger bathroom too, wouldn't you?
What for?!
Well, for instance, you might want to check your make-up while still
holding those bags with food.
Sir, we don't eat that much. I always have just one little plastic bag.
But with two elephants you never know...
Are trying to say that we'd have to feed them too!
Oh, madam, you wouldn't let those noble animals die from hunger,
would you?
I don't care about your noble bastards. I am hanging up.
But madam, think about all that great cheese?
What cheese?
Elephant cheese, of course?
No, no, no,...wait...are we in some kind of absurd play?
Ehhhm...I don't know...kind of begins to sound like it, doesn't it?
