Eat Drink Man Woman Voiceover revised

Eat Drink Man Woman voice over
Sarah Laher
            It’s an early Sunday morning and the preparations for the week have begun. A man grabs a fish from a barrel and in a moment of brute strength he debilitates the fish. He scales and debones it, leaving its intestines and guts to be trashed. He then moves on to flouring and frying the fish. The oil bounces and dances around the fish as he browns it. As he continues to slice and dice vegetables an easy rhythm comes about him, a rhythm that can only be acquired through years of practice and experience. His cooking skills are unparalleled as he slices through various foods with ease and simplicity. The kitchen comes to life as he continues to cook and places finishing touches on various dishes.
           
            PAUSE


            The man then embarks on his next dish, walking out of the house he ventures to find the right chicken to cook. He sees and acquires his next conquest and proceeds to pluck and debone it. He tops other dishes with sauces and broths and fries the assorted vegetables and poultry. The man then places the chicken into a deep roasting bowl and pours a broth over it, then placing it down to cook. He tops other pots of food with spices. His serenity in the kitchen is obvious as he begins jovially tapping his knives to a rhythmic beat. He turns to making small dumplings before he is interrupted by the ringing of a phone call – his first disruption from his work.
