ANTE Season 1, Espisode 2

America's Next Top Embarrassment
Season 1, Episode 2

SETTING: A stand selling everything from sandwiches to Croque Monsoir outside the Palais.
A girl stands towards the back of a crowd of people all rushing to fill their order. She fights her way to the front to order.

CAITLYN: Bon-jour! Je voudrais.. une crepe avec nutella, emporter, sil-vous-plait.

STAND OPERATOR: Oui, 4 euros.

Caitlyn fumbles through her bag to find enough coins to cover the cost of her meal. She grabs a handful of money and reaches past the head of a large man in order to hand over the change. The stand operator takes the money and begins to calculate out how much change to give. He pauses, picks up one of the coins, and takes a closer look at it.

STAND OPERATOR: Qu'est-que c'est?

Caitlyn is staring off into the distance imagining the deliciousness of a Nutella crepe in her belly.

STAND OPERATOR: Excuse-moi, mademoiselle, mais... qu'est-que c'est?

Caitlyn looks up.

CAITLYN: Oh, me? Sorry, what? Uh... quoi?

The stand operator holds the coin back out to her.

STAND OPERATOR: This. This. What is this?

Caitlyn looks at the coin, confused. It then dawns on her that the change she brought to Cannes from the last time she traveled abroad must have included a Chuck-E-Cheese token. Her cheeks redden.

CAITLYN: uhhh... Chuck-E-Cheese? Oh God. It's Chuck-E-Cheese. I... just... I'll just take that back.

Caitlyn grabs the Chuck-E-Cheese token from the stand operator and replaces it with a one euro coin.

STAND OPERATOR: Merci...
