Single ellipsis

Pointing and making a grunting noise La Grande Mermaid was gesturing at the Lemon Chicken.

What?
More Chicken!
Excuse me?
More CHICKEN!! [gesturing more vehemently]
You are almost seven years old. I would like a full sentence please.
oh, sorry;

Then in a very polite voice –

Can I have some more Lemon Chicken please…period!

She absolutely got her lemon chicken.

    “Can I have some more Lemon Chicken, please — SIR!! — period!”
