Transcript
Inside the Ashcombe Bakery, an elderly man and woman stand behind a counter filled with breads and pastries. Three women face them: a black-haired woman in a purple jacket and crown, a brown-haired woman in a tan jacket, and a woman in a purple dress and broad-brimmed hat. Elderly man: “This bakery has been in business since 1726.” Black-haired woman: “Simply amazing. Especially when you consider how terrible all these excessive carbs are.”
