The scene opens with Father John standing in the church basement, overseeing the preparations for the upcoming potluck dinner. Carol, Sandra, and Debbie are bustling about, setting up tables, arranging dishes, and chatting excitedly
Father John: [addressing the ladies] Ladies, I just want to say how much I appreciate all of your hard work in putting together this potluck. It's always a highlight of the church calendar.
Carol: [smiling] Oh, it's our pleasure, Reverend. We always love to show off our cooking skills.
Sandra: [nodding] Yes, and we've got some real treats in store for everyone today.
Debbie: [excitedly] And we've even got some new recipes to try out! Like my famous mac and cheese casserole.
Father John: [nodding appreciatively] Well, I'm sure it will all be delicious. [pauses] Now, just one thing I want to remind everyone of - let's try to keep the food labels clear and accurate, so people know what they're eating.
Carol: [nodding] Of course, Reverend. We're all old pros at this.
Sandra: [laughs] Yeah, we've been doing this for years.
Debbie: [smiling] And we've never had a disaster yet!
[Just then, the door bursts open and a frazzled-looking man enters, looking panicked.]
Man: [panting] Reverend! You've got to come quick!
Father John: [alarmed] What's wrong? What's happened?
Man: [gasping for breath] It's the potluck! Something's gone terribly wrong!
[Father John, Carol, Sandra, and Debbie all rush out of the basement, following the man.]
[Cut to the church hall, where chaos reigns. Parishioners are doubled over, clutching their stomachs, while others run frantically to and fro. The church ladies stand around, looking bewildered.]
Father John: [horrified] Good Lord, what's happened here?
Man: [sheepishly] I'm sorry, Reverend. It was me. I accidentally switched the labels on the chicken salad and the potato salad.
Carol: [aghast] Oh no! That means everyone's been eating potato salad with chicken in it!
Sandra: [covering her mouth] And I brought my spicy deviled eggs. They're going to be even spicier now!
Debbie: [dazedly] And my mac and cheese casserole - it's ruined!
Father John: [shaking his head] Well, it's safe to say that this potluck didn't go quite as planned.
[The scene ends with everyone looking around in dismay, as the camera zooms in on a plate of unidentifiable food, covered in a thick layer of hot sauce.]
