My second episode in Meaux will start the same as the first episode, with a few minor changes: instead of finding me standing in the frame of the French door, they will come through the French door where the sound of pots, pans and people talking will again be heard in the background and seen on the TV. They will then pan through the hallway toward la cuisine where the door is closed and the sound of pots, pans, running water and ‘talking’ can be heard. The talking will sound something like this, “Merde, merde, merde!”
The door will open to find me, at the sink, where I had been washing dishes only to discover the faucet was faulty. As a result, the faucet broke off (revealing plumbing tape that would imply this has happened before) and the water was shooting out of the tap across the kitchen – just like in the movies or, in this case, just like on my cable travel show.
I would then turn off the water and instruct viewers on how to find a ‘how to fix the kitchen sink’ video on youtube. I would also attempt to clean up the mess as quickly as possible. After watching the video I will make the decision that I have done all I can at this time, pull the kitchen door shut, and return to the front room where I will sit on the futon, turn up the TV, and be comforted by the sound and visuals of pots, pans and functioning faucets. End scene.
