Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi Reboot (Newer Casting Call) 3
Jeremy for Chef Quaroni
ABOUT THE CHARACTER
Chef Riccardo Quaroni Esquire is the culinary arts teacher at Jack Emerick Middle School. He once owned a pizzaria in Charlotte, NC, but after it got shut down and became a Waffle House, he moved to Kingston to teach culinary arts. He is also a father figure to Roseanna since her father got killed by the bear that paralyzed her.
WHAT SHOULD THE CHARACTER SOUND LIKE?
An impression of Guido Quaroni might be nice.
[You welcome the students to your class and you tell them about your class] Ciao, everybody! Welcome to Culinary Arts! I'm your teacher Mr. Quaroni, but you can call me Chef Quaroni! Mr. Quaroni was my padre. Now here in culinary arts you get to make any food that would be (peck kiss) bellissimo! I assign two or more recipes and you as junior chefs would work in teams with one recipe a group.
[DIRECTORS NOTES: I would put emphasis on the ciao part, and for the peck kiss, I would go Mmmmwah while kissing. Think Silky Lame. https://youtu.be/Jf4fROHn2-Q]
[You get furious at Rufus for being a bully to Roseanna and you tell him to go to the principal's office] Basta con queste sciocchezze! Ora vai nell'ufficio del preside!
[Rufus: I don't understand a single thing you're saying, Quaroni!]
I SAID GO TO THE PRINCIPAL'S OFFICE, RUFUS!!! (calmer) Sheesh! Some people just never learn, do they?
[Some improv might be nice]
