Bespoke, Bothered, and Bewildered

SCENE: Carpenter's workshop.
AT RISE: The carpenter is teaching a group of apprentices. A customer enters. The carpenter approaches him.

Carpenter: "Take a seat."
Customer: "Thank you, but I have four at home."
Carpenter: "How can we help?"
Customer: "I'd like you to make me a table."
Carpenter: "Certainly, I'll make you a table. You'll be the finest table this side of the Mississippi."
Customer: "Marvellous, marvellous."
