(Closing Narration)
Narrator: Check, please, for Mr. Harry Folger. For whom the phrase "dim sum" is not merely a description, but a damnation. A man who finds himself sitting down to a single, neverending course of just deserts. Prepared for him in the kitchens of the Twilight Zone. (edit) Harry's first review: Mr. Lee's Chinese Cuisine. If you love your Pekinese, don't ask for a doggy bag. (edit)
